_No response_
### Is this related to another service?
_No response_
### Describe the feature you'd like to request
`@aws-amplify/cli-extensibility-helper` has a dependency on `aws-cdk-lib` `~2.177.0` which has moderate and low severity vulnerabilities that would be worth updating at some point:
https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-qq4x-c6h6-rfxh
https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-5pq3-h73f-66hr
https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-qc59-cxj2-c2w4
### Describe the solution you'd like
The `aws-cdk-lib` dependency in `@aws-amplify/cli-extensibility-helper` should be updated to at least `2.189.1` to address both vulnerabilities.
### Describe alternatives you've considered
The only work around is to use forced resolutions for the versions since the semver doesn't allow minor version updates (`~2.177.0`).
