Change

Comment

  • Updating the dependency does not cause any change to the compiled code, so it looks like there was no corresponding vulnerability compiled into the action in the first place. Nevertheless, the PR remediates the vulnerability report in the action and I suggest therefore to merge it.

  • This PR does not address vulnerabilities in the examples coming from cypress@14.5.2. This will be handled separately and may depend on an update from Cypress, and Cypress' dependencies. See Critical vulnerability CVE-2025-7783 using form-data 4.0.1 & 4.0.3 cypress#32066
