Code Review

This pull request correctly upgrades babel-plugin-macros to fix a security vulnerability. While the change is good, I've identified a more significant underlying issue: many of the project's dependencies, particularly the @babel/* packages, are pinned to severely outdated beta versions from 2018. This represents a major security and maintainability risk. I've added a high-severity comment recommending a full dependency audit and update.

"@babel/preset-flow": "7.0.0-beta.46",
"@babel/preset-react": "7.0.0-beta.46",
"babel-plugin-macros": "2.2.1",
"babel-plugin-macros": "2.6.2",

While updating babel-plugin-macros is a good step, it's crucial to address the larger issue of outdated dependencies in this project. Many packages, including all @babel/* dependencies, are pinned to 7.0.0-beta.46, a pre-release version from early 2018.

Relying on such old beta software is highly risky and can lead to:

  • Further security vulnerabilities that have been patched in newer versions.
  • Unexpected bugs and compatibility issues.
  • A significant maintenance challenge when you eventually need to upgrade.

I strongly recommend prioritizing a full audit and update of all dependencies to their latest stable versions to ensure the project's long-term health and security.
