Summary of Changes

Hello @nejidevelops, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, updates the @babel/core dependency to its latest stable version, 7.28.4. The primary motivation for this significant upgrade is to enhance the project's security posture by resolving multiple identified vulnerabilities, including critical and medium-severity issues. This ensures the project benefits from the latest bug fixes, performance improvements, and security patches across a wide range of its underlying Babel-related packages.

Highlights

  • Core Dependency Upgrade: The @babel/core package has been upgraded from version 7.18.2 to 7.28.4, a significant jump of 69 versions.
  • Security Vulnerability Fixes: This upgrade addresses three security vulnerabilities: a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in @babel/helpers (Medium severity), an Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs in @babel/traverse (Critical severity), and Prototype Pollution in json5 (Medium severity).
  • Extensive Transitive Dependency Updates: Numerous other @babel/* helper packages and related dependencies such as browserslist, caniuse-lite, json5, and semver have been updated to their latest compatible versions, ensuring a more modern and secure dependency tree.

Code Review

This PR from Snyk upgrades @babel/core to fix several security vulnerabilities, which is a necessary change. However, it introduces a significant risk by not also upgrading @babel/preset-env. Babel's packages are released in lockstep, and a large version mismatch between @babel/core and its presets can lead to hard-to-debug issues or break the build entirely. I've added a critical comment to address this by suggesting an update to @babel/preset-env as well. After applying the fix, a thorough test of the application is highly recommended to ensure everything works as expected.

critical

While upgrading @babel/core is necessary for security, it's critical to also upgrade @babel/preset-env on the following line to a compatible version, such as ^7.28.4. Babel's packages are designed to be version-aligned; using a new core with an old preset can cause build failures or subtle transpilation bugs.
