Hi! We spot a vulnerable dependency in your project, which might threaten your software. We also found another project that uses the same vulnerable dependency in a similar way as you did, and they have upgraded the dependency. We, thus, believe that your project is highly possible to be affected by this vulnerability similarly. The following shows the detailed information.
