Summary of Changes

Hello @chriskyfung, 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 implements a crucial security update by overriding the 'glob' package version to '^11.1.0' within the project's 'package.json'. This change directly resolves a reported Dependabot alert concerning a command injection vulnerability in older 'glob' versions, ensuring that all parts of the application utilize the secure, updated dependency. The update also streamlines the dependency tree by removing several outdated and deprecated packages.

Highlights

  • Security Fix: Addresses Dependabot alert ⬆️ chore(deps): Update dependencies and enhance Corel example #8 by upgrading the 'glob' package to version '^11.1.0' to mitigate a command injection vulnerability.
  • Dependency Override: Introduces an 'overrides' entry in 'package.json' to enforce the specified 'glob' version across all transitive dependencies, ensuring consistent and secure usage.
  • Dependency Updates: Updates 'glob' and several of its sub-dependencies (e.g., 'foreground-child', 'jackspeak', 'minimatch', 'path-scurry') to their latest compatible versions.
  • Dependency Cleanup: Removes several deprecated or no longer needed dependencies from 'package-lock.json', such as '@pkgjs/parseargs', 'fs.realpath', 'inflight', and nested 'glob' instances.

Code Review

This pull request correctly addresses a security vulnerability in the glob package by using an npm override. The change in package.json to force glob to version ^11.1.0 is the appropriate solution for mitigating the command injection vulnerability found in older transitive versions. The resulting updates in package-lock.json are consistent with this override and have the positive side effect of removing some deprecated or outdated packages. The change is well-explained and correctly implemented.
