Description

Hi,

It appears that the latest version of @semantic-release/github has a transitive dependency for Lodash 4.2.1 (please see the screenshot). The outdated version of Lodash is vulnerable to the following security vulnerabilities:

lodash.capitalize/4.2.1:
CVE-2018-3721
CVE-2019-1010266
CVE-2020-28500
CVE-2018-16487
CVE-2019-10744
CVE-2020-8203
CVE-2021-23337

Could you please investigate this matter and consider updating the Lodash dependency to a secure version?

Thank you
