Description

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

 - Gatsby is a framework for building websites. The gatsby-source-wordpress plugin prior to versions 4.0.8
 and 5.9.2 leaks .htaccess HTTP Basic Authentication variables into the app.js bundle during build-time.
 Users who are not initializing basic authentication credentials in the gatsby-config.js are not affected.

 mitigates the issue by filtering all variables specified in the `auth: { }` section. Users that depend on
