Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

🦉 Prototype Pollution

[posit-snyk-bot]

This upgrade from version 1.2.2 to 1.6.4 of axios is a minor update that includes several security patches and behavioral changes that require verification.

Notable Changes:

• Behavioral Change: The fetch adapter now enforces maxBodyLength and maxContentLength. Previously, these limits were ignored. Requests with large bodies that previously worked with the fetch adapter may now fail if they exceed configured limits. [1, 3]
• Stricter Parsing: The parseProtocol function is now stricter and may reject URLs that were previously accepted. [1, 3]
• URL Encoding: The deprecated unescape() function has been replaced with modern UTF-8 encoding, which may alter how non-ASCII characters in URLs are handled. [1, 3]
• Security: Numerous security vulnerabilities have been patched, including fixes for prototype pollution and header injection. [1, 2]

Recommendation:
Verify that any applications using the fetch adapter with large request bodies are not impacted by the new enforcement of maxBodyLength and maxContentLength. Test applications that rely on unusual URL formats or non-ASCII characters in URLs.
