PR summary

This Pull Request (PR) is an automated security upgrade created by Snyk to address a high severity vulnerability found in the web3 package. The upgrade is from version 1.10.4 to 4.0.1. The vulnerability fixed is a Prototype Pollution issue with a priority score of 768/1000, which has a Proof of Concept exploit maturity.

The PR includes changes to the package.json file within the apps/block_scout_web/assets directory to upgrade the web3 package to a non-vulnerable version.

Suggestion

While the upgrade fixes the security issue, it is marked as a breaking change. It is important to thoroughly test the application with the upgraded package to ensure that the upgrade does not break any existing functionality. If the application relies on deprecated or altered functionality from web3, refactoring the affected code may be necessary.

Additionally, reviewing the commit history and changelog of web3 between versions 1.10.4 and 4.0.1 can provide insights into potential areas of the application that may require attention due to breaking changes.

If the breaking changes are too significant or the upgrade requires substantial refactoring, an alternative approach could be to look for a patch that addresses the vulnerability without upgrading to a version with breaking changes, if such a patch is available.
