Summary of Changes
Hello @nn6n, 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, focuses on enhancing the security of the "react-data-table/dashboard-app" example by upgrading the "react-scripts" dependency to its latest major version, "5.0.0". This critical update resolves two high-severity Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities, ensuring a more secure application environment. The changes primarily involve updating the project's "package.json" and "yarn.lock" files to reflect the new dependency version.
Highlights
- Dependency Upgrade: Upgraded the "react-scripts" package from version "3.4.4" to "5.0.0".
- Security Fixes: Addressed two high-severity Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities (SNYK-JS-IP-12704893 and SNYK-JS-IP-12761655) by performing the dependency upgrade.
- File Changes: Modified "examples/react-data-table/dashboard-app/package.json" and "examples/react-data-table/dashboard-app/yarn.lock" to reflect the updated dependency.
- Zero-Install Guidance: Included a note for Yarn zero-install users, advising them to run "yarn" to update the ".yarn/cache/" directory after pulling the changes.

Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, upgrades react-scripts from version 3.4.4 to 5.0.0 to resolve two high-severity SSRF vulnerabilities. While this is a crucial security update, it's a major version bump that introduces significant breaking changes. My review highlights the potential compatibility issues with other dependencies, the need to specify a Node.js version, and the risk of using SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK. Thorough testing and likely further dependency updates will be required after merging.

Upgrading react-scripts is essential for security, but this major version jump from v3.4.4 to v5.0.0 introduces significant breaking changes and is likely to break the build or application functionality.
Here are some key areas to investigate to ensure the application remains stable:
-
Breaking Changes in
react-scripts@5: This version includes major updates like webpack 5, Jest 27, and PostCSS 8.- Node.js Polyfills: Webpack 5 no longer automatically includes polyfills for Node.js core modules. If any of your dependencies rely on modules like
crypto,stream, orbuffer, the application may crash in the browser. You may need to add these polyfills manually. - Dependency Compatibility: Several dependencies are outdated and may be incompatible with
react-scripts@5. For instance,@material-ui/core@4(now@mui/material),chart.js@2, and@testing-library/react@9might cause conflicts or unexpected behavior. It's highly recommended to review and update other dependencies to versions compatible with the new build setup.
- Node.js Polyfills: Webpack 5 no longer automatically includes polyfills for Node.js core modules. If any of your dependencies rely on modules like
-
Node.js Version Requirement:
react-scripts@5requires Node.js 14 or higher. To prevent build issues for developers using older Node.js versions, consider adding anenginesfield to yourpackage.json:"engines": { "node": ">=14.0.0" }
-
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECKFlag: Thestartandbuildscripts useSKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true. This flag hides potential dependency version mismatches. It's strongly advised to remove this flag to identify and resolve any underlying dependency conflicts that this major upgrade might introduce.
Given the scope of these changes, thorough testing of the entire application (build, tests, and runtime behavior) is critical after this upgrade.
Snyk has created this PR to fix 2 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the
.yarn/cache/directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to runyarnto update the contents of the./yarn/cachedirectory.If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.
