Description
Hi, could you please remove yargs as a dependency and use something else instead?
A core dependency of yargs, yargs-parser not only has vulnerabilities in the specific version you use, but seemingly hasn't been updated at all in the last two years, merge requests with additional fixes being ignored. I don't believe yargs should be trusted as a dependency when this is allowed.

The issue names yargs and its yargs-parser dependency but does not identify a file or replacement. Start by locating the dependency declaration and its usages, then determine a supported alternative; done means yargs is removed without breaking the parser's command-line behavior.
