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 d46e05a64c1343d4811079e3cd6c20468dfc83b6 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: 1 After: 0
Number of vulnerabilities:
Before: 2 After: 0
Before execution, total vulnerabilities were:
Low: 0, Medium: 0, High: 2, Critical: 0
After execution, total vulnerabilities are:
Low: 0, Medium: 0, High: 0, Critical: 0

View the full Safer report [here](https://gist.github.com/safer-bot/3bbac1780449adb17e05d84f5d24f176).

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

Research direction

Start with the linked Safer report to identify the vulnerable dependency and the compatible version it recommends; the issue itself names no dependency file or test. Inspect the repository's dependency configuration, then verify that the update removes the two reported high-severity vulnerabilities without breaking the project.
