This PR resolves two security vulnerabilities identified by npm audit and Dependabot alerts:

Security Issues Fixed

1. @babel/helpers (Moderate Severity)

  • Issue: Babel has inefficient RegExp complexity in generated code with .replace when transpiling named capturing groups
  • CVE: GHSA-968p-4wvh-cqc8
  • Resolution: Updated from 7.26.77.28.4

2. brace-expansion (Low Severity)

  • Issue: Regular Expression Denial of Service vulnerability
  • CVE: GHSA-v6h2-p8h4-qcjw
  • Resolution: Updated from 1.1.111.1.12

Changes Made

The vulnerabilities were resolved using npm audit fix, which automatically updated the affected dependencies to their secure versions. This approach:

  • Updates only the necessary dependencies to fix security issues
  • Maintains semantic versioning compatibility
  • Preserves all existing functionality
  • Follows npm security best practices

Files Changed

  • package-lock.json - Updated dependency versions to secure releases

Verification

  • npm audit reports 0 vulnerabilities
  • ✅ All existing tests continue to pass (2/2)
  • ✅ CLI functionality verified working correctly
  • ✅ No breaking changes or regressions introduced

This fix addresses the Dependabot security alerts while maintaining full backward compatibility with the existing codebase.

@copilot leave out the lock file in scaffoldTpl

As requested by @maximizeIT, removed the package-lock.json file from scaffoldTpl directory that was inadvertently created during the security fix. The main package security vulnerabilities remain fixed.

@copilot make sure the PR description is correct and only contains actual changes

Updated the PR description to only reflect actual changes. Removed references to scaffoldTpl/package-lock.json since it's not part of the final changes. Only package-lock.json is modified.
