Research direction

Start by reviewing pull request #511 and the dependency chain from ember-cli-babel 7.26.11 through babel-plugin-module-resolver and find-babel-config to json5 0.5.1. Done means a patch release of the 7.x line allows projects to remove json5 0.5.1 from their lockfiles and addresses the linked vulnerability.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

ember-cli-babel version 7.x is still widely used in the ember community, over 65% of downloads from npm are still on 7.x. There is a vulnerability in JSON5 being brought in from a transitive dependency of this package, that has been updated in ember-cli-babel 8.x. However it is impossible to remove version 7.x from ember projects given ember-source itself still depends on 7.x, along with many other ember community packages. I am hoping a patch version of ember 7.x could be released to remove this vulnerability.

This proposed PR should allow projects to get JSON5 0.5.1 out of their lockfiles https://github.com/emberjs/ember-cli-babel/pull/511

See vulnerability: https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-JSON5-3182856

The dependency chain bringing in 0.5.1:

    └─┬ ember-cli-babel 7.26.11
      └─┬ babel-plugin-module-resolver 3.2.0
        └─┬ find-babel-config 1.2.0
          └── json5 0.5.1
