Bumps webpack-dev-server from 4.11.1 to 5.2.4.

Release notes

Sourced from webpack-dev-server's releases.

v5.2.4

5.2.4 (2026-05-11)

Bug Fixes

  • set Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy header to prevent source code theft over HTTP

v5.2.3

5.2.3 (2026-01-12)

Bug Fixes

  • add cause for errorObject (#5518) (37b033d)
  • compatibility with event target and universal target and lazy compilation (574026c)
  • overlay: add ESC key to dismiss overlay (#5598) (f91baa8)
  • progress indicator styles (#5557) (41a53a1)
  • upgrade selfsigned to v5

v5.2.2

5.2.2 (2025-06-03)

Bug Fixes

  • "Overlay enabled" false positive (18e72ee)
  • do not crush when error is null for runtime errors (#5447) (309991f)
  • remove unnecessary header X_TEST (#5451) (64a6124)
  • respect the allowedHosts option for cross-origin header check (#5510) (03d1214)

v5.2.1

5.2.1 (2025-03-26)

Security

  • cross-origin requests are not allowed unless allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin header
  • requests with an IP addresses in the Origin header are not allowed to connect to WebSocket server unless configured by allowedHosts or it different from the Host header

The above changes may make the dev server not work if you relied on such behavior, but unfortunately they carry security risks, so they were considered as fixes.

Bug Fixes

  • prevent overlay for errors caught by React error boundaries (#5431) (8c1abc9)
  • take the first network found instead of the last one, this restores the same behavior as 5.0.4 (#5411) (ffd0b86)

v5.2.0

5.2.0 (2024-12-11)

looks like all three ci failures are due to @types/express-serve-static-core type incompatibility with the project's TypeScript version. The new webpack-dev-server v5 pulls in a newer version of @types/express-serve-static-core that uses template literal types (like${infer P}${Tail}). The current TypeScript version is just most likely too old to understand this syntax

@jdstrand hey! this dependabot bump (webpack-dev-server 4to 5) is failing CI because the new @types/express-serve-static-core dropped support for our TS version (4.0.2). I think we have tow options:

  1. Pin @types/express-serve-static-core to 4.17.x via resolutions so we get the security fix without breaking types
  2. Skip this bump since it's a dev-only dep with a moderate severity alert

Do you have a preference?

Thanks. I do not other than to say that whatever we can do to keep moving forward, even if piecemeal, is good since at some point our hand will be forced (and that never happens at a convenient time).

sounds good! Went with option 1 and added a yarn resolution to pin @types/express-serve-static-core to 4.17.21 (this is the latest ersion that doesn't use template literal types incompatible with the TS 4.0.2). Let's see if the checks pass now.

All CI jobs pass except monitor-ci-tests. I don't think it's related to this pr though. looks like infra failure. I will try re-running
