[snyk-io]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 7 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• package.json
• yarn.lock

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.

[snyk-io]

This is a minor version upgrade for axios from 1.4.0 to 1.18.0. While it does not contain major API breaking changes, it introduces several behavioral modifications due to significant security hardening across multiple releases. Verification is recommended.

Key Changes:

• Stricter URL Parsing: Starting with v1.18.0, axios enforces stricter URL validation and will reject malformed URLs (e.g., http: without //) that may have been accepted previously.
• Redirect and Header Safety: The behavior of redirects has been hardened. For instance, sensitive headers like custom authentication tokens may be stripped during cross-origin redirects in Node.js to prevent leaks.
• Status Validation: The semantics for the validateStatus configuration have been improved, which could affect how request promises are resolved or rejected based on the response status.
• Security Hardening: The versions include numerous security fixes for prototype pollution, Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), and other vulnerabilities. These fixes tighten validation and may cause previously working but insecure requests to fail.

Recommendation: Review your application's usage of axios, particularly if it involves complex redirects, proxy configurations, or relies on lenient URL parsing. It is important to test after upgrading to ensure these security enhancements do not unexpectedly break functionality.
