Description
Here we're fixing this Critical security alert from Dependabot.
There was a transitive dependency on
flat: ^4.1.0
introduced byyargs-unparser: 1.6.0
, which in turn, was a dependency for Mocha in versions 6.x and 7.x.The solution to remove the dependency on the risky version of
flat
was to update Mocha to 8.4.0.Mocha 8.x introduced breaking changes for the test configurations, removing the ability to read configuration from
mocha.opts
files (deprecated in 7.x), in favor of amocha
property onpackage.json
files. Here we make that conversion to fix the test suite.SOC2 Compliance
