Description

Hi, webpack needs a backport of https://github.com/yahoo/serialize-javascript/security/advisories/GHSA-5c6j-r48x-rmvq in order to update and avoid being vulnerable to this issue.

We’re unable to upgrade to version 7 due to our Node.js support (node >=10), which limits us from updating. So would it be possible to please backport this fix?
