Step up your Open Source Security Game with Mend [here](https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/full_solution_bolt_github)

Start with /buildAndReleaseTask/package.json and inspect how azure-pipelines-task-lib-2.9.3 brings in minimatch. Update the dependency so minimatch resolves to 3.0.5 or later, then verify that /buildAndReleaseTask/node_modules/minimatch/package.json no longer reports version 3.0.4 and that the vulnerable dependency is removed.
