Problem

_transactionWithCallback writes newTxId into the options object the caller passed when the call is nested, then reads newTxId back off that same object on every call, top-level ones included. An application that keeps a shared options constant — const TX_OPTIONS = { timeout: 30_000, maxWait: 10_000 } — and passes it to a nested tx.$transaction(cb, TX_OPTIONS) once leaves that object permanently stamped with the outer transaction's id. Every later top-level prisma.$transaction(cb, TX_OPTIONS) in the process is then sent to the engine as a nested start against that id: it fails with P2028 if the outer transaction has committed, or silently opens as a savepoint inside another request's still-open transaction if it has not.

Change

The nested transaction id is no longer written into the caller's object. optionsWithDefaults derives newTxId from the itx scope context of the client the method was called on, so it is set only when the call is actually nested and a polluted options object can no longer make a root-client call join someone else's transaction.

Tests

Added sql: nested transaction does not mutate the options object to packages/client/tests/functional/interactive-transactions. It reuses one options object across a nested transaction and a later top-level one, asserting the object is unchanged and that both transactions committed. It fails on the current code (the object gains newTxId) and passes with the fix.

The full interactive-transactions suite passes on sqlite/better-sqlite3 (38 tests), as do the other transaction suites (47) and @prisma/client-engine-runtime (234).

Fixes #30367

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime no longer writes newTxId to caller-provided options. It derives the identifier when constructing nested transaction defaults. A SQL functional test verifies option reuse across nested and later top-level transactions.

Changes

Interactive transaction options

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transaction option derivation and regression coverage
packages/client/src/runtime/getPrismaClient.ts, packages/client/tests/functional/interactive-transactions/tests.ts
Nested transactions derive newTxId from the transaction context without mutating input options. Top-level transactions receive undefined. The SQL test verifies that shared options remain unchanged and that a later top-level transaction succeeds.

Thanks for the fix! The failing checks here aren't caused by your change. New dependency advisories break the audit step, and the macOS runners can't install MySQL anymore. Every PR to v7 hits this right now. We're fixing it in #30668, and once that's merged we'll update your branch and rerun CI. Nothing needed from you.

wmadden pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 9, 2026
…5.4 with its IPv6 parsing change (#30668)

Every pull request to `v7` currently fails CI, whatever it changes. Here
is what [#30368](#30368), a one-line
client fix, gets today:

```
Lint             pnpm audit --prod  ->  7 vulnerabilities found (5 high, 2 moderate)
macOS (3 jobs)   brew install mysql ->  compiles MySQL 26.7.0 from source -> make: *** [all] Error 2
```

This PR makes `v7` CI pass again in three ways:

1. It updates the two vulnerable dependencies that have patched
releases: `mariadb` and `source-map-js`.
2. It tells `pnpm audit` to ignore two advisories, for `braces` and
`sprintf-js`. These have no patched release, and Prisma can't be
attacked through them.
3. It moves the macOS jobs from the deprecated `macos-14` runner to
`macos-latest`.

The `mariadb` update reaches users. `@prisma/adapter-mariadb` now
depends on `mariadb` 3.5.4 instead of 3.5.3, and it stops rewriting IPv6
hosts in connection strings, because 3.5.4 accepts them as written.
Without that second change, the update would break IPv6 connections.

## Why CI broke without a code change

`v7` last passed CI on 16 September. Nothing in the repository broke it.
Two things outside the repository changed after that date.

### New security advisories fail the audit step

The Lint job ends with `pnpm audit --prod`. That step fails when any
production dependency has a known advisory. Since 16 September,
advisories were published against four packages in our lockfile:

| Package | Reached through | Advisories | What this PR does |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mariadb` 3.5.3 | `@prisma/adapter-mariadb`, a direct dependency | 4
(3 high) | Bumps it to 3.5.4, a patch release with the fixes |
| `source-map-js` 1.2.1 | `@prisma/config` > `c12` > `magicast` | 1
(high) | Adds a pnpm override that forces at least 1.2.2 |
| `braces` 3.0.3 | `@prisma/client-generator-ts` > `fast-glob` >
`micromatch` |
[GHSA-vfj7-8cjw-p6xm](GHSA-vfj7-8cjw-p6xm)
(high) | Ignores it |
| `sprintf-js` 1.1.3 | `@prisma/adapter-mssql` > `mssql` > `tedious` |
[GHSA-hp3w-g68c-fv3c](GHSA-hp3w-g68c-fv3c)
(moderate) | Ignores it |

The first two have fixes, so we take them. The overrides follow the same
pattern as [#30314](#30314), the
previous audit fix on `v7`.

The last two can't be fixed by upgrading. Their advisories name 3.0.4
and 1.1.4 as the patched versions, but neither version exists on npm:
3.0.3 and 1.1.3 are the latest releases. Both advisories describe a
crash that happens only when an attacker controls the input string, and
in Prisma no attacker can:

- The generator calls `fast-glob`, which uses `braces`, only with
patterns built from the user's own output folder (`generateClient.ts`).
- `tedious`, the SQL Server driver, calls `sprintf` only with its own
fixed message templates, for debug output and error messages.

So `pnpm-workspace.yaml` now lists both advisory IDs under
`auditConfig.ignoreGhsas`, with this reason written next to them. Once
fixed releases exist, the ignores can go.

### Updating `mariadb` needs a change to the adapter

`mariadb` 3.5.3 parsed connection strings with a regular expression that
rejected the colons in a bracketed IPv6 host such as `[::1]`. So
`@prisma/adapter-mariadb` rewrote that host to a percent-encoded form,
which the old parser decoded back into `::1`
([#29026](#29026)):

```
mariadb://user:pass@[::1]:3306/db  ->  mariadb://user:pass@%3A%3A1:3306/db
```

`mariadb` 3.5.4 parses connection strings with the standard `URL` parser
instead, and it accepts `[::1]` as written. It no longer decodes the
host, so the rewritten string made the driver look up a host literally
named `%3A%3A1`. The adapter's IPv6 tests caught this. The adapter now
passes the bracketed host through unchanged, and the tests check that
the driver accepts it and connects to a server listening on `::1`. The
release notes for 3.5.4 don't mention this parser change. Its other
changes are security limits, such as the new `maxAllowedColumns` option,
and bug fixes.

### Homebrew dropped macOS 14

The cross-platform test jobs run on Windows and macOS, and on macOS they
install MySQL with `brew install mysql`. Homebrew no longer ships
prebuilt packages for macOS 14, so that command now compiles MySQL from
source, and the compile fails. GitHub has deprecated the `macos-14`
runner as well.

We pinned `macos-14` in
[#22904](#22904) in March 2024, when
it was the newest runner, and nobody moved the pin after that. This PR
switches those jobs, and `build-engine-branch.yml`, to `macos-latest`,
which is macOS 26 on Apple Silicon today. The same jobs already use
`windows-latest`, and one other macOS job in `test-template.yml` already
used `macos-latest`.

## How it was checked

- `pnpm audit --prod` exits 0 locally. The lockfile diff touches only
`mariadb`, `source-map-js` and `iconv-lite`, which `mariadb` 3.5.4
depends on.
- The `@prisma/adapter-mariadb` unit tests pass locally, including the
IPv6 test that connects to a server on `::1`.
- ESLint and Prettier pass on every changed file.
- The macOS change can only be checked by this PR's own CI run.
