High severity vulnerabilities in dependencies

[m-hauck]

Hi there,

I get the following four high severity vulnerabilities after installing the latest version 1.14.1.

Is there any plan to fix the issues with updated dependencies?

Hey @m-hauck, can you please try upgrading to v1.16.0. We have bumped up the version and on running npm audit, we can see no high or critical vulnerabilities now.

Hi @pranavj1001, thanks for the update. This fixes the four high severity vulnerabilities for me. Now I only got five moderate severity vulnerabilities left.

To address all issues (including breaking changes), run:
  npm audit fix --force

Is there any plan on fixing those as well?

Hey @m-hauck, we don't have plans for fixing this in the near future. Updating update-notifier library is introducing some breaking changes for browserstack-cypress-cli. We'll revisit this. Till then, I'm keeping this issue open.
