[!IMPORTANT]
The prior release (4.22.0) included an erroneous breaking change related to the extended query parser. There is no actual security vulnerability associated with this behavior (CVE-2024-51999 has been rejected). The change has been fully reverted in this release.

It looks like you are reviewing a Dependabot upgrade PR! 🛠️
That’s great! Keeping our packages up to date to fix security issues in our stack is super important. Team Application Security wants to help make this process as easy and low friction as possible while still moving at pace.

We aim to merge Dependabot PRs within the below timeframes. The objectives are based on the severity of the security vulnerability we are mitigating with the upgrade:

Severity Target Merge (days)
CRITICAL 7 days
HIGH 14 days
MEDIUM 30 days
LOW 90 days

🎯 Target merge date for this PR: 27/02/2026 🎯

FAQ

What if we aren’t vulnerable to this particular CVE? Do we still have to upgrade the package? It’s still a good idea to upgrade the package if we can. With new code patterns and paths being introduced every day, we have no guarantee that we won’t later make ourselves vulnerable. Keeping packages up to date as a matter of due course is also good hygiene.
What if we’re not vulnerable and upgrading is going to be a lot of work? In these cases it’s a good idea to list out the steps you took to confirm we are not vulnerable in this PR. The PR can then be closed and the corresponding Dependabot Alert should be dismissed with the triage steps included as a comment. Please get in touch with Team Application Security via #ask-security before dismissing any CRITICAL alerts.
This is a major version upgrade that requires substantial code refactoring. What should I do? If the upgrade requires substantial refactoring then it is possible that we will miss the objectives we have outlined above. In these cases, you should add the dependabot-refactor-required label to this PR and ping #ask-security for further advice.
