Bumps webpack-dev-server from 4.11.1 to 5.2.6.

Release notes

Sourced from webpack-dev-server's releases.

v5.2.6

Patch Changes

  • fix: allow undefined as the Server constructor options argument again (by @​bjohansebas in #5695)

    Restores accepting undefined (defaulting it to {}) for the options argument, so passing a webpack config's optional devServer field type-checks and works as before.

  • Protect the built-in state-changing routes (/webpack-dev-server/invalidate and /webpack-dev-server/open-editor) against cross-site request forgery. Requests are now checked with Sec-Fetch-Site (falling back to an Origin/Host comparison when it is absent), so a cross-site page can no longer trigger a rebuild or open a file in the editor. Same-origin requests, user-initiated navigations, and non-browser clients (e.g. curl) are unaffected. (by @​bjohansebas in #5698)

  • Handle malformed Host and Origin header values gracefully when validating requests. (by @​bjohansebas in #5699)

v5.2.5

Patch Changes

  • Skip the HMR WebSocket path when forwarding upgrade requests to user-defined proxies, so custom proxy WebSocket upgrades are no longer intercepted by the dev server. (by @​bjohansebas in #5680)

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)

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Major-version dev-server bump with a large transitive lockfile churn; impact is limited to local development tooling, but regressions would affect block dev workflows until caught manually.

Overview
Upgrades webpack-dev-server from ^4.11.1 to ^5.2.6 in block-scripts and mock-block-dock, with a refreshed yarn.lock for the v5 dependency tree (e.g. webpack-dev-middleware 7.x, memfs 4.x, newer express / selfsigned stack).

There are no application or webpack config edits in this diff—only the declared versions and lockfile. Local block dev (block-scripts dev.js server setup, mock-block-dock devServer in webpack config) should be exercised after merge to confirm HMR, proxies, and HTTPS dev certs still behave as expected under v5.

CORP header breaks cross-origin loading

High Severity

webpack-dev-server 5.2.4+ sets Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: same-origin by default. Existing devServer configs still only set CORS (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *), so browsers will block cross-origin script loads of locally served blocks. That breaks the intended block-dev workflow that embeds blocks from localhost into other origins.

Node engines below required version

Medium Severity

webpack-dev-server 5 requires Node.js >=18.12.0, but block-scripts still declares engines as ^14.15.0 || >=16.13.0, and the monorepo root allows >=16.14.0. Installs or runs on those older Node versions that the packages claim to support will fail after this bump.
