FKITDEV-8279

Classification: task (Type=Task, State=Open, Subsystem=None)

Two claims in the Analysis section below were DISPROVED during implementation

Do not repeat them. The fork was not invisible to yarn audit, and the CVSS 9.8 did not sit unnoticed for two years. See Retractions — two claims from the analysis are false.

For Agents

Option C was implemented (retire the fork, carry the three patches in-repo via patch-package). The branch is now PUSHED to TechTeamer/vuer_oss at head 7664b784d0no PR has been opened. Implementation detail starts at Implementation outcome (2026-08-07); everything after that date, including the Oracle 19c evidence, is at Post-2026-08-07 — validation, findings and landing shape (2026-08-31).

Two statements below are OUT OF DATE — corrected further down

  1. “not pushed” / head b0303af227 — superseded, see Branch state (2026-08-31).
  2. fk-dev SSH is denied by tailnet policy” — FALSE. Access was obtained as ops@fk-dev.taild4189d.ts.net and used for every validation round from 2026-08-09 onward. See Validation rounds after 2026-08-07.

# Analysis (2026-08-06)

## Answers to the two ticket questions

**1. „Mindenhol a forkot használjuk?" → NO.**

| Repo | Declared | Resolved | Oracle? |
|---|---|---|---|
| `vuer_oss` | `sequelize: npm:@techteamer/sequelize@^6.30.1` | **6.32.2 (fork)** | yes — bb, kh, mkb-instant |
| `esign_oss` | `sequelize: ^6.30.1` (**upstream**) | **6.37.8** | postgres only |
| `resource-manager` | `^6.37.5` (upstream) | — | — |
| `vuer_css`, `portal_css`, `esign_css`, `mq`, `janus-api` | no sequelize | — | — |

Only `vuer_oss` uses the fork. `esign_oss` already runs current upstream **6.37.8**.

**2. „Támogatja már az új verzió az Oracle-t?" → YES, but that was never the whole reason for the fork.**

`vuer_oss/README.md:7-16` says the fork exists to carry the Oracle dialect (upstream PR sequelize#7123). That reason is now **obsolete** — upstream ships `lib/dialects/oracle/` since 6.32.0. But the fork also carries **three unrelated patches that upstream still does not have**.

## What the fork actually is

`@techteamer/sequelize@6.32.2` = upstream **6.32.1** + 3 patches across 5 files. (Upstream has no 6.32.2 — the `.2` is TechTeamer's.) Published **2023-10-13**; upstream is now **6.37.8**. The fork is **~2.7 years stale**.

Verified by diffing the installed fork against the upstream 6.32.1 tarball (271 diff lines total):

| # | Files | What it does | In 6.37.7? | In 6.37.8? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **1** | `lib/dialects/oracle/query-generator.js` | Adds `KEY`, `PASSWORD`, `TYPE`, `VALUE` to `ORACLE_RESERVED_WORDS` (112 → 116) | **NO** | **NO** |
| **2** | `lib/dialects/abstract/query-generator.js`, `lib/sequelize.js`, `lib/dialects/mssql/query.js` | Threads `attrTypes` from insert/update generation into the MSSQL driver so a `null` bound to a BLOB column binds as `VarBinary`, not `NVarChar` | **NO** | **NO** |
| **3** | `lib/model.js` | `sync()` compares existing vs. missing indexes by generated `table_field1_field2` name instead of `item1.name === item2.name` | **NO** | **NO** |

Patch 3 sits **outside** the `options.alter` branch → it runs on **every** `Model.sync()`. bb/kh/mkb-instant set `syncOnStart: true`, so it is live.

## SECURITY — the real driver for this ticket

> [!warning] Dates corrected during implementation
> 
> The critical was **published 2026-08-03**, i.e. it was four days old when this was written — it did
> not sit unnoticed. See [[#retractions--two-claims-from-the-analysis-are-false|Retractions — two claims from the analysis are false]].

| Advisory | Severity | Affects | Patched in | Fork 6.32.2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **GHSA-v8fg-2rw7-q452** — SQL Injection, **Oracle dialect only** | **CRITICAL, CVSS 9.8** | `< 6.37.4` | 6.37.4 | **VULNERABLE** |
| **GHSA-6457-6jrx-69cr** — SQLi via JSON column cast type | HIGH, CVSS 7.5 | `>= 6.0.0-beta.1, <= 6.37.7` | **6.37.8** | **VULNERABLE** |

Source-confirmed, not just version-range inference — `fork-6.32.2/lib/sql-string.js:60-64` contains the exact vulnerable code:

```js
} else if (dialect === "oracle" && typeof val === "string") {
  if (val.startsWith("TO_TIMESTAMP") || val.startsWith("TO_DATE")) {
    return val;            // <-- returns attacker string unescaped
  }
  val = val.replace(/'/g, "''");

PoC from the advisory: ?firstName=TO_DATE('0','Y')||'' OR 1=1--. 6.37.8 replaces this with strict TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ/TO_DATE validation, and adds this._validateCastType(cast) in _traverseJSON for the second advisory.

The critical one is Oracle-specific — i.e. it hits exactly bb, kh and mkb-instant.

^6.37.7 in PR #7710 is not enough. Its yarn.lock pins version "6.37.7" (the branch is from 2026-02-03; 6.37.8 shipped 2026-03). That leaves GHSA-6457 open. Must be 6.37.8.

The reported ORA-00942 — NOT caused by the swap

Márton’s SQL, SELECT "id", "key", "value", "createdAt", "updatedAt" FROM "settings" "settings";, is fully-quoted-lowercase output, i.e. quoteIdentifiers: true. Reproduced both libraries offline (no DB needed) using the exact constructor shape from server/db/sequelize.js and bb’s config:

quoteIdentifiers = true   (what Márton got)
  fork 6.32.2     SELECT "id", "key", "value", "createdAt", "updatedAt" FROM "settings"  "settings";
  upstream 6.37.7 SELECT "id", "key", "value", "createdAt", "updatedAt" FROM "settings"  "settings";
  => BYTE-IDENTICAL. The fork would have failed the same way.

So that ORA-00942 is a test-environment problem (config not picked up, or the schema/migrations absent), not the library swap. It needs Márton’s actual effective config to close out.

The REAL Oracle regression the swap causes

bb’s committed config (origin/customization/bb, both config/dev.json and config/docker.json):

"db": { "syncOnStart": true,
        "options": { "dialect": "oracle", "quoteIdentifiers": false,
                     "define": { "underscored": false, "freezeTableName": false } } }

With quoteIdentifiers: false, Oracle’s quoteIdentifier() returns an identifier unquoted (→ Oracle folds it to UPPERCASE) unless it is in ORACLE_RESERVED_WORDS, in which case it is quoted lowercase. That list is the entire mechanism patch 1 touches:

quoteIdentifiers = false   (bb / kh / mkb-instant PRODUCTION)
  fork 6.32.2     SELECT id, "key", "value", createdAt, updatedAt FROM settings  settings;
  upstream 6.37.x SELECT id,  key ,  value , createdAt, updatedAt FROM settings  settings;

Existing schemas were created by the fork, so those columns are physically lowercase "key" / "value". Upstream emits them unquoted → Oracle resolves KEY / VALUEORA-00904: invalid identifier on every affected table.

Independent corroboration: db/beforeMigrate/20230929091100-oracle-table-rename.js (branch fix/oracle-table-migration) carries restrictedColumnsNames = ['key','size','type','value','comment','file','from','to','date','order','raw'] with the comment “These columns have the right capitalization in sequelize 4”. Of those 11, upstream’s list already contains SIZE, COMMENT, FILE, FROM, TO, DATE, ORDER, RAWthe missing ones are exactly KEY, TYPE, VALUE (+ PASSWORD, which the fork also added). The fork patch is precisely “cover the column names our schema actually uses”.

Blast radius — 30 columns across 27 core models in server/db/model/ (customization models not yet counted):

setting.key+.value, user.password, passwordhistory.password, cert.password, encryption.key, totpKey.key, customer.key, customerdatachange.key+.value, userActivity.type+.value, flowTranslation.key, importedFlowTranslation.key, importedCustomer.key, attachment.type, activity.type, job.type, task.type, taskproto.type, document.type, storage.type, mediafile.type, feedback.type, janusevent.type, flowactivity.type, flowProtoActivity.type, customerhistory.type, customervalidation.type, backgroundProcessLog.type.

That includes login (user.password) and settings load at boot.

Also in PR #7710

  • Adds oracledb: ^6.10.0 as a core dependency. Today oracledb lives only on the Oracle partner branches (bb has ^5.5.0) — so this both bundles the driver into every non-Oracle deployment and bumps the Oracle partners’ driver 5.5 → 6.10. Needs a deliberate decision, not a side effect.
  • chrismakaay CHANGES_REQUESTED 2026-05-15: “Conflictol a PR”. Branch is 112 behind devel.

Options

A — merge #7710 as-is. Rejected. Silently loses all 3 patches → ORA-00904 across 27 models on 3 Oracle partners, MSSQL null-BLOB inserts, index churn on every sync(); and still leaves GHSA-6457 open at 6.37.7.

B — refresh the fork: rebase the 3 patches onto 6.37.8, publish @techteamer/sequelize@6.37.8-tt.1. Smallest diff in vuer_oss (one version string). But it keeps the thing whose failure mode we just measured: invisible, unowned, 2.7 years stale, missed a CVSS 9.8. Needs an npm publisher and an owner. (“invisible” is retracted — the alias means yarn audit did see it; the standing argument is “unowned, abandoned, no route to a fix”. See Retractions — two claims from the analysis are false.)

C — retire the fork, carry the surviving patches in-repo (RECOMMENDED): upstream sequelize@6.37.8 + patch-package. Same three hunks, but visible in the repo, reviewable in a normal diff, and re-applied loudly on every install. Version bumps become routine and CVE tooling starts working. package.json already has a resolutions block; there is precedent for pinned external deps (passport-activedirectory tarball SHA).

Patch triage before writing the patch file:

  • Patch 1 — keep. Non-negotiable; the alternative is renaming columns in three banks’ production Oracle schemas.
  • Patch 2 — verify, probably discard. No MSSQL partner found (bb/kh/mkb-instant = Oracle, everything else Postgres). If nothing is on MSSQL it is dead weight.
  • Patch 3 — keep. Runs on every sync(), and the Oracle partners boot with syncOnStart: true.

If patch-package is unwanted, patch 1 alone can be done in ~6 lines in server/db/sequelize.js by wrapping queryGenerator.quoteIdentifier for the oracle dialect — but that is a monkey-patch on a library internal and does not cover patch 3.

Ordered plan

  1. Confirm the driver. Get sign-off that the CVSS 9.8 Oracle SQLi makes this security work, not housekeeping — it changes the priority and who reviews it.
  2. Close out Márton’s ORA-00942: ask for the effective config of his test run (quoteIdentifiers was clearly not false) plus whether migrations had run. Proven above not to be the library swap; do not let it block.
  3. Decide B vs C (recommend C).
  4. Confirm the MSSQL question — any partner on MSSQL? If no, patch 2 goes away.
  5. Decide the oracledb dependency: core dep at ^6.10.0 for everyone, or keep it on the Oracle partner branches; and confirm 5.5 → 6.10 is safe for bb/kh/mkb-instant.
  6. Implement on a fresh branch off devel (#7710 is 112 behind and conflicted): sequelize@6.37.8 + patches + regenerate yarn.lock.
  7. Add a regression test that asserts the generated Oracle SQL quotes key/value/password/type under quoteIdentifiers: false. Runs offline, no DB — this is exactly the check that would have caught the swap.
  8. Validate against a real Oracle DB on the bb customization (fk-dev), booting with syncOnStart: true: settings load, login (user.password), an attachment write.
  9. Then decide #7710’s fate — supersede or update it.

Plan status after implementation

Steps 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 are done (C chosen; MSSQL confirmed live so patch 2 stays; branch off devel @ 70cc97382b; 30 tests, not 1; #7710 superseded). Step 5 decided: oracledb deliberately not added to core. Step 8 did NOT happenfk-dev SSH is denied by tailnet policy; a local real-Oracle/real-MSSQL substitute was used instead and a partner boot is still the go/no-go. Steps 1 and 2 remain open with the team. Detail: Implementation outcome (2026-08-07). Update 2026-08-31: step 8 has since run four times, including on fk-dev itself and against Oracle 19c EE, the engine the partners actually run — see Validation rounds after 2026-08-07 and Oracle 19c results (2026-08-31) — the strongest evidence available. Step 2 (Márton’s effective config) is still unasked.


Prior art & PR reuse (2026-08-06, follow-up)

The fork’s own PRs are the patch documentation

github.com/TechTeamer/sequelize/pulls — 6 PRs total, and they map 1:1 onto the three patches:

#Branch → baseAuthor, mergedWhat
1fix/mssql-null-blobv6gab3sz, 2023-03-31= Patch 2. “FKITDEV-141: fix insert/update blob field with null value in mssql”

3fix/oracle-tablesv6gab3sz, 2023-10-13= Patches 1 + 3. “fix: ORACLE sync with legacy table”
4 / 5 / 6maintenance/*, chore/fkqa-339main2026-04 … 2026-06”yarn upgrade & maintenance” on the upstream-main (v7-alpha) line, not v6. #6 still open.

Fork branch v6 head = d15c2bf791 “6.32.2”, frozen since 2023-10-13. The 2026 maintenance activity never touches the version we actually consume, and nothing has been published to npm since 2023.

PR #3’s body is the authoritative rationale — it confirms every inference in the section above, in the authors’ own words: V6 regenerated V4-era ALL-UPPERCASE tables in camelCase; the fix was the quoteIdentifiers: false + define: {underscored:false, freezeTableName:false} config (this is verbatim where bb’s config came from); “néhány kulcsszó miatt, amelyeknek idézőjelek között kellene szerepelni, hibát dob a lekérdezés (pl TYPE, VALUE, KEY)” → extend the reserved-word list; and the index comparison had to move from name-matching to field-matching because V4 and V6 auto-name indexes differently.

PR #1’s body gives the exact MSSQL symptom to test against: “Implicit conversion from data type nvarchar to varbinary(max) is not allowed.”

Both PRs carry src/ diffs (the fork is a full sequelize repo). The npm package ships only lib/ + types/no src/ — so a patch-package patch must be re-derived against 6.37.8’s compiled lib/. The src/ diffs are the intent reference, not the patch payload.

Upstreaming was already attempted — and did not fail on policy

sequelize/sequelize#16388 (benrozsa, base v6, opened 2023-08-15) submitted the MSSQL fix only. Upstream’s response (WikiRik, 2023-09-06): “the linter and unit tests are failing. Until those are fixed we won’t review. But we can assist if you have any questions about it.” benrozsa said he’d return with the changes, never did; the bot closed it as abandoned 2024-03-28.

So upstream accepted a v6-targeted PR in principle. The Oracle patches (1 and 3) were never submitted.

The org’s own prior verdict — and its trigger condition

FKITDEV-1208 “Sequelize v6 átállás hivatalos package-re” (bence.rozsa, now Obsolete) reached: “nem tűnik indokoltnak a sequelize-ba visszavezetni az oracle-ös fixet, használjuk a forkot, amíg nincs akadálya” — keep the fork until there’s an obstacle. It also wrote down the security procedure: fork update → npm release → test with vuer on the mkb-instant branch, and asked balazs.horvath to flag any sequelize vulnerability in the next core-maintenance md.

The CVSS 9.8 Oracle SQLi is precisely that obstacle. Retiring the fork is consistent with their own recorded policy, not a reversal of it.

FKQA-215 “Sequelize 7-re frissítés” (Obsolete): v6 is feature-freeze, mainline is v7, Oracle is not in v7 (upstream PR 17403 still in progress), Oracle expected back around v8. v7 is not an option. Its own task list included “Forkolt kód átvizsgálása szükséges-e az új sequelize verzióban” pointing at the fork’s closed PRs — that review is what this analysis completes.

FKITDEV-8662 “Forkolt dependency-k karbantartása” (Pending) inventories all 20 TechTeamer forks; the sequelize row reads “Itt az is kérdés, hogy a frissítés után akarjuk-e”. Our answer closes that row.

CORRECTION — MSSQL is live, so patch 2 stays

Earlier I guessed patch 2 was dead weight. It is not. Driver dependency per partner customization branch:

EnginePartners
Oraclebb (oracledb ^5.5.0), kh (^6.9.0), mkb-instant (^5.5.0); legacy fhb (^3.0.1), mkb (^2.2.0)
MSSQLotp (tedious 14.2.0), unicredit-srb (tedious 14.2.0), otp-export-rooms
MySQLcetelem, cetelem-f1, cofidis (mysql2)
Postgreseverything else

All three patches must be carried. OTP and UniCredit Serbia are on MSSQL.

Also note: core devel declares no DB driver except pg — every driver lives on the partner branch. PR #7710 adding oracledb: ^6.10.0 to core breaks that pattern and would drag bb/mkb-instant 5.5 → 6.10 (and fhb/mkb far further) via package.json merge conflicts on each partner branch.

What to reuse, concretely

  1. vuer_oss #7710 — the package.json shape only. Change ^6.37.7^6.37.8 (its lock pins 6.37.7, still vulnerable) and re-decide the oracledb line.
  2. Fork PR #3 — port the 2 hunks; lift its Hungarian rationale into the patch-file header and the new PR body.
  3. Fork PR #1 — port the 3 hunks; reuse its error string as the MSSQL regression-test assertion.
  4. Upstream #16388 — if we later want patch 2 upstreamed, the branch exists and the bar is stated: fix lint + unit tests.
  5. FKITDEV-1208’s procedure — reuse the validation target it names: mkb-instant (not only bb).

Method note

Everything above is reproducible offline in <scratchpad>/seqdiff/: gen.js and gen-url.js instantiate fork/6.37.7/6.37.8 side by side and print the generated Oracle SQL; d-*.diff are the per-file fork↔upstream diffs. No database required.

Gotcha: rtk mangles diff and multi-file grep output (it reported the Oracle query-generator as “identical” when it was not). Write diffs to a file and read the file.


Implementation outcome (2026-08-07)

Option C shipped on a branch. Upstream sequelize@6.37.8 + all three fork patches carried in-repo via patch-package, plus a boot guard and 30 unit tests. Reviewed per task and whole-branch; not pushed, no PR opened.

All three patches were carried — patch 2 (MSSQL) is not dead weight, otp and unicredit-srb run MSSQL. oracledb was deliberately not added to core, unlike #7710, which this supersedes (#7710 pins ^6.37.7, so it still carries GHSA-6457, and it drops all three patches with no replacement).

Carry-over fidelity was verified byte-for-byte: the reviewer unpacked fork 6.32.2 from the Yarn cache and compared all five patched regions — identical everywhere (116/116 reserved words including order, 8/8, 6/6, 4/4, 1/1 sites). The insertQuery/updateQuery call-site set and handleShowIndexesQuery for oracle/mssql/postgres are identical between 6.32.2 and 6.37.8, so patch 3’s fields assumption is exactly as safe as it is on the fork today.

Retractions — two claims from the analysis are false

Retracted: "the fork is invisible to yarn audit"

FALSE, and it was never measured — it was inferred from an npm advisory-API query and was at one point called “the strongest line for the PR”. devel depends on the fork through an npm alias ("sequelize": "npm:@techteamer/sequelize@^6.30.1"). Yarn v1 builds its audit tree from the alias key, submits sequelize@6.32.2, and that matches: run against a genuine devel install, yarn audit reports both advisories by name, and has all along. The @techteamer/sequelize@6.32.2 → {} API result is still true — it is simply not what devel does.

Retracted: "a CVSS 9.8 sat unnoticed for two years"

FALSE. GHSA-v8fg-2rw7-q452 / CVE-2026-69240 was published 2026-08-03, four days before this work. GHSA-6457-6jrx-69cr / CVE-2026-30951 went public 2026-03-11 and sat below the gate’s --min-severity critical threshold for five months without failing anything. What sat for two years is the fork being abandoned (last npm release 6.32.2, 2023-10-13; branch v6 frozen since) — which is why there was no route to a fix, only around it.

The correct, checkable claim to use instead: the CI Audit job is currently RED on devel, and this branch turns it green. Measured on both trees:

DEVEL   improved-yarn-audit --min-severity critical → Found 1 vulnerabilities (sequelize, CRITICAL)  exit 1
BRANCH  improved-yarn-audit --min-severity critical → Found 0 vulnerabilities                        exit 0

The gate is .github/workflows/pull-request.yaml:109-119 (the yarn audit line above it deliberately swallows its exit code), and audit is in the merge gate: needs: [lint, test, audit, sonar]. No .improved-yarn-audit-ignore exists anywhere in the repo. Full yarn audit --groups dependencies totals: devel 14 findings (2 Low / 9 Moderate / 2 High / 1 Critical), branch 12 (2 Low / 9 Moderate / 1 High) — the delta is exactly the two sequelize advisories. No finding names sequelize as the vulnerable package any more; the one remaining sequelize-adjacent row is transitive sequelize > uuid (moderate), pinned by every 6.x release including the fork, out of scope.

Third correction, smaller: the pre-existing unit-failure count on devel is 5, not 4. Verified against a genuine origin/devel install (tree exported with git archive, devel’s own lockfile) rather than by stashing: devel 347 suites / 3673 tests / 5 failed; branch 348 / 3703 / 5 failed. Delta = +1 suite, +30 tests, +30 passes, 0 new failures, identical failing sets on both sides (Converter ffmpeg, VuerCvService padDetection ×2, AppointmentService checkFreeAppointments, SelfServiceV2Service photoCandidate — the last one joined the set between 2026-08-06 and 2026-08-07 and looks date-dependent).

The decisive experimental result — a fork-shaped Oracle schema, read both ways

The planned partner validation on fk-dev could not run (see What is still ungated), so a real Oracle 23 Free (gvenzl/oracle-free:23-slim, container fk8279-oracle, oracledb 6.10.0 in thin mode, server Oracle AI Database 26ai Free Release 23.26.2.0.0) and a real SQL Server 2022 (16.0.4265.3, tedious 16.7.1) were stood up locally instead. All work ran in a git archive copy; the worktree’s package.json / yarn.lock were byte-identical afterwards.

The single strongest piece of evidence in the change: a fork-shaped SETTINGS table was built with hand-written DDL executed through raw oracledb — so the target schema does not depend on the code under test — with physical columns coming back out of the data dictionary as uppercase ID / CREATEDAT / UPDATEDAT next to lowercase-quoted "key" / "value", exactly what the patched generator emits under quoteIdentifiers: false. Read back through sequelize both ways:

patched    SELECT id, "key", "value", createdAt, updatedAt FROM settings  settings;
           findAll OK, rows = [{"id":1,"key":"hologramLimits","value":"{\"min\":0.4}"}]

reversed   SELECT id, key, value, createdAt, updatedAt FROM settings  settings;
           SequelizeDatabaseError: ORA-00904: "VALUE": invalid identifier
           original.errorNum: 904

md5  before 87ed15ea6fc4fa414166e66a6e9d0194 | unpatched fa779c7db37060806a6912795e638b22 | after 87ed15ea…

ORA-00904: "VALUE": invalid identifier, errorNum 904, straight from a real Oracle — the exact production failure predicted at planning time, confirmed against a database rather than a mock, with md5s showing the reversal left nothing behind.

The other two patches were exercised the same way, in both directions:

  • Patch 3 (Model.sync index comparison). A Sequelize-v4-style index ATTACHMENT_ENCRYPTIONID was created on the column attachment genuinely declares an index for (generated name attachments_encryption_id), then Attachment.sync() run over it. Patched: sync() OK, 0 CREATE INDEX issued. Reversed: SequelizeDatabaseError: ORA-01408: such column list already indexed, 1 CREATE INDEX. That is a real boot failure for any Oracle partner on syncOnStart: true over a schema with pre-v5 index names.
  • Patch 2 (MSSQL null BLOB), on a real SQL Server. Patched: INSERT and UPDATE of a NULL BLOB both OK. Reversed: both throw Implicit conversion from data type nvarchar to varbinary(max) is not allowed. — verbatim the string in fork PR #1 and in the boot guard’s message. This closes the gap the unit tests cannot reach: they pin the binding logic, not tedious accepting it.
  • The boot guard, through the real production path. require() of server/db/sequelize.js (which calls assertVendorPatches at module load) with the real config loader and a live Oracle connection: silent when patched, refuses to load the module with its intended message when the hunk is reversed. Same both directions on a live MSSQL connection. This settles the earlier “nobody has watched this fire on a real Oracle box” concern.

Also proven on real Oracle: the whole 61-model layer loaded and sequelize.sync() created all 61 tables; SettingsService.loadSettings() / init() / importSettings() — the exact call that failed in FKITDEV-1208 — completed; a reserved-word sweep passed 13/14 and a broader query surface (JOIN, transaction commit/rollback, bulkCreate, count/aggregate, raw sequelize.query, destroy) 7/8. Both FAIL lines are explained and neither is a defect: ORA-22848: cannot use CLOB type as comparison key on ORDER BY setting.value reproduces on a plain non-reserved column name (and reaching a type error proves identifier resolution already succeeded), and the other is a harness artifact — static User.update() threw SyntaxError: "undefined" is not valid JSON inside the user model’s rights getter (server/db/model/user.js:39) with no SQL issued at all, in a path grep -rn "User\.update(" server customization shows the application never calls.

Reusable gotchas

Worth knowing before you conclude something is broken

  • yarn install --check-files is mandatory once node_modules/sequelize goes missing. A plain yarn install does not restore it (Yarn’s integrity check short-circuits), and patch-package then errors Patch file found for package sequelize which is not present. --error-on-fail hard-fails that case too, so it looks like a broken patch file when it is a stale node_modules.
  • A missing patches/ directory is a silent no-oppatch-package prints “No patch files found” and returns 0, even under --error-on-fail (applyPatches.js:58-61). It is the one failure mode install cannot catch, so the boot guard is the sole backstop. The directory does ship today: vuer_oss has no .buildignore, and vuer_build/packaging/workspace/create-build-package.js strips only .git / .github / .vscode. Do not prune it later.
  • patch-package must be a runtime dependency, not a devDependency — production images build with yarn install --production (vuer_build/base/vuer_oss/Dockerfile:162, vuer-release/install/install-app.sh:19), which prunes devDependencies but still runs postinstall. Cost: 14 new packages in the production image (21 lockfile entries, 7 merely re-keyed), including open@7.4.2, which shells out to xdg-open; audit package count 1143 → 1164, reported clean.
  • Core devel needs Node >= 24, despite engines.node still saying >=22.18.0. geoip-lite@2.0.3 declares >= 24.0.0, so yarn install fails outright on Node 22.22.3; CI already pins NODE_VERSION: "24". Pre-existing, unrelated to this change.
  • jest here needs --testPathPatterns (plural). --testPathPattern was removed in this jest version.
  • postinstall-postinstall turns the depcheck job red. It has no bin and is never imported, so depcheck reports it unused (exit 255). Not in the merge gate, but a PR whose headline is “the red CI job goes green” should not open with a newly red check. Fixed by adding it (and patch-package) to .depcheckrc.json’s ignores.
  • The patch filename is version-stamped under a caret range. If sequelize ever resolves to 6.37.9 and the hunks still apply, patch-package only warns and exits 0. The lockfile pins 6.37.8, so no live risk — but any sequelize bump requires regenerating the patch, and the 30 tests are what catch it if you don’t.

What is still ungated

No partner smoke test ran — this is the real go/no-go

Plan Task 5 called for validation on the fk-dev VM against the bb and mkb-instant schemas. No partner Oracle/MSSQL environment was reachable on 2026-08-07. Everything above is a local substitute and must never be presented as partner validation.

Correction (2026-08-31) — the fk-dev SSH claim in this section was WRONG

The original text said fk-dev (100.91.108.61) “is network-reachable but the tailnet policy refuses SSH for this user”. That is not true. Access was obtained as ops@fk-dev.taild4189d.ts.net and used for the 2026-08-09 native x86_64 run with real partner driver pins, and for everything after it. The levander SSH user was simply the wrong user, not a policy block. What remains true is the conclusion: still no partner schema. See Validation rounds after 2026-08-07 and What still gates this (2026-08-31).

No partner schema, migration history, customization layer, config or driver version was involved. The Oracle schema was created fresh by sync() from the current models; the only legacy-shaped artifacts were the two built by hand on purpose. Model.sync() has still never met a partner’s real index inventory — only one synthetic v4-style name. No UI-level exercise; the columns were driven through the model layer.

The driver versions are nobody’s production versions: locally oracledb 6.10.0 thin vs bb and mkb-instant on ^5.5.0 and kh on ^6.9.0 (partners most likely thick-mode Instant Client), and tedious 16.7.1 vs otp / unicredit-srb on 14.2.0. One measurement bounds that gap without closing it: lib/dialects/oracle/connection-manager.js and lib/dialects/mssql/connection-manager.js are byte-identical between fork 6.32.2 and upstream 6.37.8 (md5 1649309288113ce05096f79b7dc4d9ae and bfbc75f6bb591f7bd01639889f70630e), so no new driver API surface is used. The compatibility question is behavioural and remains unmeasured.

Merge preconditions, in priority order:

  1. One Oracle partner on the oldest driver — bb or mkb-instant (oracledb ^5.5.0) — booted against a restored partner schema with syncOnStart: true, then log in (user.password) and load settings (setting.key / setting.value). One action covers the legacy index inventory (ORA-01408), the reserved-word columns (ORA-00904) and the untested driver version. kh is the cheapest confirmation, being closest to what was validated — and for the same reason the least informative.
  2. One MSSQL partner on its own pinned tedious 14.2.0otp or unicredit-srb — inserting and updating a NULL BLOB. The 16.7.1 → 14.2.0 distance is the largest single unmeasured gap in the change and it sits directly under patch 2.
  3. The built image actually contains patches/sequelize+6.37.8.patch and the build log shows sequelize@6.37.8 ✔.

Residual risk nobody was tasked to look at: the upstream 6.32.1 → 6.37.8 delta inside the two dialects the banks run. The patches got byte-level scrutiny; five minor versions of dialect churn arrived with them and got none. Spot-checked: oracle/index.js flips supports.lock false → true, changes forShare from " IN SHARE MODE" to "FOR UPDATE", adds lockOuterJoinFailure / skipLockedchecked unreachable, no lock: true and no Transaction.LOCK in core or on any of the five partner branches; oracle/query-generator.js has churn beyond the reserved-word line (addConstraintQuery now drops onUpdate and downgrades onDelete: NO ACTION); mssql/query-generator.js bracket-quotes schema and table inside OBJECT_ID(...).

Two further known limits: the boot guard is dialect-scoped (oracle + mssql), while patch 3 is dialect-agnostic — a postgres/mysql deployment installed with --ignore-scripts boots silently unpatched (mild consequence: a duplicate index rather than an error). And three unguarded dereferences were carried over deliberately under the fidelity mandate (attrTypes.push(modelAttributes[key].type), attributes[key].type, attrTypes[key]); crash shapes are a model declaring field: or underscored: true, the 4-arg queryInterface.bulkUpdate, and a raw sequelize.query(sql, { bind: [...] }) on MSSQL. A grep of core and of all five partner branches found zero field: model mappings and no underscored, and the fork carries the identical unguarded code in production at all five partners, so no shape is reachable today — but the hazard moved from an external package into our repo.

Process note: the final re-review could not be completed by an independent agent — three consecutive dispatches died on API errors (Response stalled mid-stream, Connection closed mid-response ×2), none writing output. The controller verified the three must-fix findings directly instead; that is weaker evidence than an independent review and is recorded as such.

Partner-merge shape: four clean, one conflicts

All five Oracle/MSSQL partner branches pin the fork in their own root package.json, not just bb:

origin/customization/bb             "sequelize": "npm:@techteamer/sequelize@^6.30.1"   oracledb ^5.5.0
origin/customization/kh             "sequelize": "npm:@techteamer/sequelize@^6.30.1"   oracledb ^6.9.0
origin/customization/otp            "sequelize": "npm:@techteamer/sequelize@^6.30.1"   tedious 14.2.0
origin/customization/unicredit-srb  "sequelize": "npm:@techteamer/sequelize@^6.30.1"   tedious 14.2.0
origin/customization/mkb-instant    "sequelize": "npm:@techteamer/sequelize@^6.32.2"   oracledb ^5.5.0

Four carry that line byte-identical to devel’s, so a devel merge applies this change with no conflict and they inherit the fix automatically — confirm rather than assume. Only mkb-instant genuinely conflicts (^6.32.2 vs devel’s ^6.30.1) and it must resolve to ^6.37.8, not “keep ours”. Telling a release manager to expect a conflict on bb invites exactly the wrong resolution on a merge that would otherwise be correct by default. No partner branch defines a postinstall script, so the new script and the patch-package dependency merge cleanly everywhere, and all five keep their own oracledb / tedious lines. If anyone does resolve toward “keep the fork” the failure is loud: a 6.37.8-stamped patch cannot apply to 6.32.2 (the hunks already exist) and --error-on-fail aborts the install.

Follow-ups to file as separate tickets

  1. Guard the three attrTypes dereferences in patch 2 (not reachable today, fork-identical, but now ours).
  2. Upstream patch 2 — sequelize/sequelize#16388 already exists on base v6 from our own @benrozsa and was never rejected on substance, only on failing lint/unit tests. Landing it shrinks the patch file by three files.
  3. FKITDEV-8662 “Forkolt dependency-k karbantartása” — fill in the TechTeamer/sequelize row: vuer_oss no longer uses it and esign_oss@devel already resolves upstream 6.37.8, so the repo can be archived once nothing else depends on it.
  4. engines.node is stale and unachievable (>=22.18.0 vs geoip-lite’s >=24.0.0). Pre-existing on devel.
  5. FKITDEV-1208 was closed Obsolete with “use the fork until there is an obstacle” — record that CVE-2026-69240 is that obstacle, and that the decision has been revisited.
  6. The date-dependent unit tests (SelfServiceV2Service › photoCandidate, AppointmentService › checkFreeAppointments) and the order-dependent test/tests/unit/server/util/pdf.test.js.
  7. Oracle partners pin old drivers (bb / mkb-instant ^5.5.0; legacy branches ^3.0.1 / ^2.2.0).

Added 2026-08-31 (detail at Findings A–D (reported, dispositions decided)):

  1. oracledb@5.5.0 is broken on Node 24util.isDate is not a function; hits bb and mkb-instant regardless of sequelize. Remediation verified (oracledb@6.10.0 thick, 4/4 green). This subsumes item 7 above with a concrete failure.
  2. bin/db/migrate-rdbms.js cannot migrate an Oracle partner--url= makes sequelize-cli skip the config and drop quoteIdentifiers: false; sync() at :89-90 has the same defect. Pre-existing.
  3. 170 silently swallowed DDL failures in the migration tooling (31/0/139 across 104 of 128 migrations), reproducing identically on Oracle 19c and 23ai.

Devel catch-up is mechanical, but not free. git merge-tree --write-tree HEAD origin/devel returns a tree with no conflicts (exit 0). Only three files overlap — package.json, yarn.lock, eslint.config.mjs — and devel does not touch the sequelize dependency at all, so the swap is uncontested. A clean textual lockfile merge is not a resolving lockfile: the catch-up still needs a real yarn install to prove it.

One incoming commit widens the blast radius

Oracle 19c results (2026-08-31) — the strongest evidence available

Oracle 23ai was convenient; 19c EE is what the banks run. Running the same replay on both is what turns “it works on my container” into a statement about production.

Migration replay is numerically identical to 23ai: 25 + 128 migrations, 0 errored, 0 skipped, 62 tables / 204 indexes, with a row-by-row identical index inventory.

170 DDL failures are silently swallowed by the migration tooling

Split 31 / 0 / 139 across 104 of 128 migrations — and identical on both engines. Because it reproduces on 19c and 23ai alike it is a genuine property of the tooling, not an engine artefact. This deserves its own ticket; it is not caused by, and not fixed by, this branch.

Patch 1 is load-bearing on the real engine. ORA-00904 reproduces in both directions on 19c — the patched generator resolves, the reversed one fails. This is the production failure mode, on the production engine.

Patch 3 is inert over a repo-built schema but is NOT cosmetic

Over a schema built by the repo’s own migrations, patch 3 changes nothing — which invites the conclusion that it can be dropped. It cannot. Reversing the hunk over a single renamed index makes Model.sync() abort with ORA-01408 — i.e. a failed startup for any partner running syncOnStart: true. “Not exercised” ≠ “not needed”.

The positive control, reproducible: rename the model-declared index ROOMS_STATUSROOMS_STATUS_LEGACY on a built schema, columns untouched, then boot. Upstream fails with ORA-01408: such column list already indexed; the patched build — which matches on the generated table_f1_f2 name rather than item1.name === item2.name — sails through. That rename is exactly the shape of divergence a partner schema accumulates over years, which is why the open ask is a real bb/kh/mkb-instant USER_INDEXES dump.

Oracle’s 30-character identifier limit does not apply on 19c. 19 index names exceed 30 chars (max 58) and there are zero ORA-00972. The 30-char folklore is a pre-12.2 constraint and should not be used as an argument in this change.

Key inversion — commit 7664b784d0 is forward-compat, NOT a live-defect repair

19c emits a bare ORA-00942: table or view does not exist with no object name; 23ai interpolates the object name. devel’s original whitelist regex therefore already matches on 19c. So 7664b784d0 fix(db): match ORA-00942 on oracle 21c+ is forward-compatibility for Oracle 21c+, not the repair of a production bug. Do not describe it as fixing a live defect — on the engine partners run today, the old regex works.

Findings A–D (reported, dispositions decided)

A — the vendored patch introduces a latent MSSQL regression

A raw sequelize.query(sql, { bind: [...] }) reaches the MSSQL dialect _run() with attrTypes === undefined and throws TypeError. Proven by controlled inverse: the same call passes on upstream and fails patched. This is one of the three unguarded dereferences flagged under What is still ungated, now demonstrated rather than theorised.

Latent onlyzero app-level bind: options across all 21 raw-query call sites in vuer_oss.

Disposition — prevented at the source rather than patched

Commit 47142d9156 adds a no-restricted-syntax ESLint ban on raw bind query options. The patch hunk stays fork-identical (fidelity mandate preserved) and the reachable shape is made unwritable instead.

B — oracledb@5.5.0 is broken on Node 24, independently of this change

Every write throws util.isDate is not a functionutil.isDate was removed in Node 23. bb and mkb-instant pin oracledb ^5.5.0 and engines.node: ">=22.18.0" admits Node 24, so this is a live trap for those two partners regardless of sequelize.

Verified remediation: oracledb@6.10.0 thick mode on Node 24 is 4/4 green.

Disposition: separate ticket, out of scope for this PR.

C — bin/db/migrate-rdbms.js cannot migrate an Oracle partner

bin/db/migrate-rdbms.js passes --url=, which makes sequelize-cli skip the config file entirely and therefore drop quoteIdentifiers: false. The documented migration procedure consequently cannot migrate an Oracle partner.

sync() at migrate-rdbms.js:89-90 has the same defect, so fixing only the four --url= sites is insufficient.

The obvious fix is a trap

Merging db.options wholesale would apply quoteIdentifiers: false to a Postgres origin and fold createdAtcreatedat. Tested and confirmed. Any fix must be dialect-aware.

Disposition: entirely pre-existing, separate ticket, out of scope.

D — the ORA-00942 whitelist regex

See the 19c inversion in Oracle 19c results (2026-08-31) — the strongest evidence available: bare vs. object-name-interpolated ORA-00942 between 19c and 23ai. Handled on-branch by 7664b784d0, correctly framed as 21c+ forward-compatibility.

What still gates this (2026-08-31)

The evidence is far stronger than on 2026-08-07, but the go/no-go has not moved.

  • No partner USER_INDEXES dump has been obtained. This is still the single highest-value missing artefact.
  • Patch 3 remains unproven outside a synthetic case — one renamed index, hand-built. Model.sync() has still never met a partner’s real index inventory.
  • 109 of 128 migrations were no-ops in the replay ordering, so the replay exercises far less than its headline number suggests.
  • Partner data and the customization-layer migrations are untested.

The unasked question — and the most likely route to a bb index dump

Szabó Márton is the recorded lead here: he ran the earlier test on customization/bb, so he has (or had) a bb Oracle environment. The open question to him — the effective config of his run (quoteIdentifiers was clearly not false) and whether migrations had run — is plan step 2, and it was never actually asked. It is also the cheapest path to the missing USER_INDEXES dump.

Also on record: FKITDEV-1208’s own procedure names mkb-instant, not bb, as the org’s validation target. If only one partner gets validated, the org’s own written policy says which one.

Merge / landing shape

This must land as a SQUASH, and the PR title is the commit subject

refs/heads/devel falls under vuer_oss ruleset #1 — the same bracketed-lowercase-ticket rule as customization/**:

^(build|chore|ci|docs|feat|fix|perf|refactor|revert|style|test)(!)?(\(.+\))?: \[[a-z]+-\d+\] .+

The branch’s 11 conventional-commit subjects satisfy ruleset #2 but not #1. A merge or rebase would push subjects that ruleset #1 rejects. Therefore:

Landing rule

Squash-merge, and because the squash commit subject is the PR title, the PR title must read fix: [fkitdev-8279] …bracketed and lowercase. See techteamer-commit-message-ruleset.

Partner branch merges — four clean, one conflicts (confirmed again)

bb, kh, otp, unicredit-srb carry the fork line byte-identical to devel’s and merge with no conflict, inheriting the fix. Only mkb-instant conflicts (^6.32.2 vs devel’s ^6.30.1) and must resolve to ^6.37.8, not “keep ours”.

A wrong resolution fails loudly: 6.37.8-stamped patch hunks cannot apply to 6.32.2 and patch-package --error-on-fail aborts the install. See customization-branches.

The org-wide payoff

The Audit job is red on devel and on every vuer_oss branch because of this fork, and build has needs: [lint, test, audit, sonar] — so a red audit skips build on every partner PR. This branch turns it green, for everyone. See ci-github-branch-audit-chronically-red.

Two things reviewers will try to “fix” — don’t let them

patch-package must stay a runtime dependency

Production images build with yarn install --production (vuer_build/base/vuer_oss/Dockerfile:162), which skips devDependencies but still runs postinstall. Moving patch-package to devDependencies silently produces an unpatched production image. Reviewers will very likely propose exactly this move — the reason not to is recorded here and in Reusable gotchas.

postinstall-postinstall reddens the depcheck job unless it stays in .depcheckrc.json

It has no bin and is never imported, so depcheck reports it unused. Kept suppressed via the ignores list in commit ab390af503. See FKITDEV-8239.

Live-verified repo facts that other notes get wrong (2026-08-31)

For Agents

These three were verified against the live repo/API on 2026-08-31. Prefer them over any conflicting statement elsewhere in the vault or in agent memory.

1. vuer_oss DOES have a PR template. PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md at the repo root (not .github/), plain LF UTF-8. Body:

### Summary:
TÖLTSD KI
### References:
**YouTrack ticket(s):**
no ticket linked
**Related PR(s):**
nothing

Notes elsewhere describe this as a CRLF de-facto template with no file in the repo — that is wrong on both counts (it is a real committed file, and it is LF).

2. .github/CODEOWNERS exists and assigns only @TechTeamer/frontend for client/, customization/ui/, customization/email/, plus @tunderdomb for CODEOWNERS itself. Nothing in this branch’s diff has a code owner, so no reviewer is auto-assigned — a PR here will sit unreviewed unless reviewers are requested by hand.

3. PR #7710’s author is szollarp (live-verified 2026-08-31). Still open, base devel, head branch FKITDEV-8279, untouched since 2026-08-06. Other notes record the author as unknown.
