Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, proposes an upgrade for the react-scripts package from version 4.0.1 to 4.0.3. This change is intended to address a number of security vulnerabilities detailed in the PR description.

My review focuses on the implications of this specific version bump:

• Positive Impact: The upgrade to 4.0.3 is beneficial as it mitigates the listed security issues.
• Version Age: A key consideration is that [email protected], released in February 2021, is itself an old version. While this PR provides an incremental security improvement, the project will still be using outdated build tooling.

Recommendation:
While merging this PR is a good immediate step, I strongly advise planning a subsequent upgrade to react-scripts version 5.x.x. Migrating to a more current major version will provide more significant benefits, including access to newer underlying tools (Webpack 5, Jest 27, etc.), improved performance, additional security fixes, and better alignment with the modern JavaScript ecosystem. This PR should be seen as a stepping stone towards a more comprehensive update.

[gemini-code-assist]

Upgrading react-scripts to 4.0.3 is a positive step as it addresses the vulnerabilities listed in the pull request description.

However, it's important to recognize that react-scripts version 4.0.3 itself was released in early 2021 and is now quite dated. The PR description also notes that this recommended version is significantly old.

To ensure better long-term maintainability, access to modern features (like Webpack 5, updated ESLint, PostCSS, etc.), and more comprehensive security coverage, please consider planning a further upgrade to react-scripts version 5.x.x. This will help keep the project aligned with current React development standards and best practices.
