Description

A Github process called "dependabot" automatically creates a PR to update a package dependency to potentially fix a security vulnerability. Eg,

Before accepting and merging these PRs, each subject package should be reviewed for potential code impacts (eg, breaking changes), and the project should be rebuilt and tested.

The identified "security vulnerabilities" are of moderate or high severity. A summary page is available at: https://github.com/bcgov/namerequest/security/dependabot

Research direction

Start with the repository's Dependabot security summary and the moderate- or high-severity dependency update pull requests it lists. Review each package for potential breaking changes, then identify the project's rebuild and test commands. The work is done when the affected updates have been reviewed and the rebuilt project passes its tests.
