[posit-snyk-bot]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 1 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• apps/vscode/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.

🦉 Prototype Pollution

[posit-snyk-bot]

This upgrade spans multiple minor versions and includes important security fixes, including a patch for a supply chain compromise, and a minor breaking change for security hardening.

Security-Related Breaking Change (from v1.15.0):

• Configuration Merging: To prevent prototype pollution vulnerabilities, Axios now restricts merging of the __proto__ key within configuration objects. This is a security hardening measure and is unlikely to affect applications unless they are intentionally manipulating object prototypes in their Axios configuration.

Critical Security Fixes:

• This upgrade is crucial as it moves past version 1.14.1, which was identified as being part of a supply chain attack involving a malicious dependency.
• It includes patches for multiple critical vulnerabilities, including Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and Prototype Pollution.

Recommendation: The upgrade is highly recommended for security reasons. Verify that your application's Axios configuration does not rely on prototype manipulation. Given the low likelihood of impact from the breaking change, this is considered a medium-risk upgrade primarily due to the security-sensitive nature of the fixes.
