OCPBUGS-88416: Bump Axios to fix CVE-2026-44486. Requires a Patch of axios 0.33.0 types to be compatible with an older version of TypeScript
Fixes CVE-2026-44486.
https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-88416

How this patch was generated:
Step 1:
From frontend/:

Point deps at unpatched 0.33.0 temporarily i.e. In frontend/package.json:
Dependency:
"axios": "0.33.0"

Step 2:
cd frontend
yarn install
yarn patch axios@npm:0.33.0
Yarn prints a temp folder path.

For example:

yarn patch axios@npm:0.33.0
➤ YN0000: Package axios@npm:0.33.0 got extracted with success!
➤ YN0000: You can now edit the following folder: /private/var/folders/xh/64_dr2_j14s6q3vdq008bj9r0000gn/T/xfs-9ac099cb/user
➤ YN0000: Once you are done run yarn patch-commit -s /private/var/folders/xh/64_dr2_j14s6q3vdq008bj9r0000gn/T/xfs-9ac099cb/user and Yarn will store a patchfile based on your changes.
➤ YN0000: Done in 0s 23ms

Apply the same TypeScript fix in that folder’s index.d.ts
For example:
get the directory that is listed e.g./private/var/folders/xh/64_dr2_j14s6q3vdq008bj9r0000gn/T/xfs-8bb6f632/user
in that folder, edit and save the file index.d.ts
replace
type MethodsHeaders = {
[Key in Method as Lowercase]: AxiosHeaders;
};
with
type LowercaseMethod =
| 'get' | 'delete' | 'head' | 'options' | 'post'
| 'put' | 'patch' | 'purge' | 'link' | 'unlink';

type MethodsHeaders = {
[Key in LowercaseMethod]?: AxiosHeaders;
};

Step 3:
Apply changes:
yarn patch-commit -s /private/var/folders/xh/64_dr2_j14s6q3vdq008bj9r0000gn/T/xfs-9ac099cb/user
yarn install
yarn build

Step 4:
Add and commit changes etc
to determine the name of the patch, find it in the folder .yarn/patches - it will start with the name axios-npm-0.33.0

git add .yarn/patches/axios-npm-0.33.0-023deda7e4.patch
git add package.json
git add yarn.lock
git commit -m "OCPBUGS-88416: Bump Axios to fix CVE-2026-44486. Requires a Patch of axios 0.33.0 types to be compatible with older version of TypeScript"
git push

Testing
in the main console folder,
Test 1
./build-frontend.sh > test-4.12.axios-bump.txt
The output file was anlaysed by Claude:
Verdict: PASS — ./build-frontend.sh succeeded on release-4.12-260721 with the axios 0.33.0 Yarn type patch.

Test 2
./build-demos.sh > test-4.12-build-demos.txt
The output file was anlaysed by Claude:
Verdict: PASS - webpack 5.73.0 compiled successfully in 5628 ms
