[Dala0]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 8 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• frontend/package.json

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning

Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

[Dala0]

This upgrade spans multiple minor versions and introduces several security-driven behavioral changes that require verification.

Key Changes:

• Stricter URL Validation: Starting with v1.18.0, Axios will reject malformed http: and https: URLs that are missing the // separator, which may cause requests to fail if your application constructs URLs improperly. [1, 6]
• Redirect Security: In v1.18.0, the Node.js adapter was updated to strip sensitive headers (like Authorization) on cross-origin redirects to prevent credentials from leaking. Applications that rely on forwarding these headers during a redirect may see a change in behavior. [1, 6]
• Configuration Hardening: Multiple versions (including 1.17.0) added protections against prototype pollution by guarding how configuration options like socketPath, params, and paramsSerializer are read. This should not impact correctly configured applications but hardens security. [1, 2]

Recommendation: The risk is assessed as medium because these changes, while primarily for security, alter behavior. It is recommended to test application functionality related to URL construction, requests that involve redirects across different origins, and proxy configurations.
