Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - The React Developer Tools extension registers a message listener with window.addEventListener('message',
 <listener>) in a content script that is accessible to any webpage that is active in the browser. Within
 the listener is code that requests a URL derived from the received message via fetch(). The URL is not
 validated or sanitised before it is fetched, thus allowing a malicious web page to arbitrarily fetch URL’s
 via the victim's browser. (CVE-2023-5654)
