Description

Hi there 👋,
I'm [Safer Bot](https://gitlab.com/lsi-ufcg/vulnerabilidades/safer)!
Safer is an open-source tool that automatically updates vulnerable dependencies to more secure and compatible versions. Our goal is to help maintainers keep their projects secure without breaking changes.
We ran Safer on your project at commit 80f8f6126ed652ac2b4ee353ccbe88496c9a882a and identified dependency updates that reduce vulnerabilities while preserving stability. Safer uses a compatibility-aware heuristic to select the most appropriate versions for each dependency.

Safer Report Summary:

Number of dependencies with vulnerabilities:
Before: 22 After: 7
Number of vulnerabilities:
Before: 1925 After: 799
Before execution, total vulnerabilities were:
Low: 42, Medium: 589, High: 873, Critical: 421
After execution, total vulnerabilities are:
Low: 15, Medium: 264, High: 353, Critical: 167

I'm excited to contribute to the open source community with my tool and would be happy to assist with any questions or feedback.
Feel free to reply to this issue and I'll respond as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Safer Bot
