Thanks, will take a look at this soon.

fixed by #3265

@slorber , I do not believe #3265 fixes the issue. The audit report references copy-webpack-plugin and not terser-webpack-plugin.

There is an additional update needed for webpack and copy-webpack-plugin. The minimum version of webpack required to patch the vulnerability is 5 which requires updating a few other dependencies who have a peer dependency on webpack@4.

It looks like the following packages all have a peer dependency of webpack@4:

warning " > webpack-dev-middleware@3.7.2" has unmet peer dependency "webpack@^4.0.0".
warning " > cache-loader@4.1.0" has unmet peer dependency "webpack@^4.0.0".
warning " > optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin@5.0.3" has unmet peer dependency "webpack@^4.0.0".

I've started a branch to upgrade these dependencies and their peers here

[slorber]

Hey, I'm upgrading the copy plugin here: #3282 to solve this issue.

We also have to upgrade the workbox-build package in the pwa plugin, when they upgrade here: GoogleChrome/workbox#2601 (but this is less likely to affect many D2 users)

@dschaller I don't understand why you think we need to upgrade to Webpack 5?

[slorber]

Let's keep it open until we are sure it is really fixed + the pwa plugin is also fixed

[dschaller]

@slorber I recall seeing some of the updated packages having a peer dependency of >webpack@5. I could have misread that though.
