Hello @petermetz
While examining each vulnerabilities, both CVE-2021-23337 and CVE-2021-23358 was already fixed by PR #1816 and #1820. Upon investigation package @hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-besu@1.0.0 at examples/cactus-example-supply-chain-backend is still using the web3-eea on its latest version in NPM https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-besu . What is the frequency of update for @hyperledger/cactus-plugin-ledger-connector-besu@1.0.0? Update of the said version from the cactus base code will fix the said vulnerabilities above.

Here are the screenshots of my current issue/blocker

1. Lodash
   

2. Underscore

@aldousalvarez Oh, that's great, thank you for investigating! We will issue a 1.1 release soon which will then propagate the fixes to the containers as well. I assigned the task to you but at this point it's a no-op except for you having to make sure that this is closed with the issuance of the release 1.1.
So your responsibilities here are:

1. Wait for the 1.1.0 release and when it happens close this issue stating what happened and why (referring to your description above will help a lot)
2. Mark this issue dependent on that other issue we have for releasing v1.1.0 that I'll create in a second.

[petermetz]

Depends on #2054

Also marked this as P3 because the vulnerabilities are on a test or example container that does not get used in production at all.
