Description

There is a Axios Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability dependency in the @analytics/segment plugin.

Dependabot is stating: @analytics/segment@1.1.3 requires axios@^0.21.1 via a transitive dependency on analytics-node@3.5.0
(https://github.com/DavidWells/analytics/blob/master/packages/analytics-plugin-segment/package.json#L56)

Looks like analytics-node is a deprecated repo with no more support.

analytics-node suggests using this repo instead: https://github.com/segmentio/analytics-next/tree/master/packages/node#readme

Any way you can replace analytics-node with analytics-next?

Research direction

Start with packages/analytics-plugin-segment/package.json at the dependency reference mentioned in the issue, then compare the deprecated analytics-node package with analytics-next's node package documentation. Check the Segment plugin's integration points and existing validation before changing the dependency. Done means the plugin no longer pulls the vulnerable axios version and its existing behavior remains intact.
