Progress Update:
1. After cross-version upgrade[1] of front-end components, these upgrades
may be breaking change, but no compatibility problems have been found in
functions so far. The number of front-end dependent security
vulnerabilities dropped from 25 in the past to 8, this is a big milestone.

2. For the backend we still have a lot of dependency upgrades to eliminate
dependency vulnerabilities.

> 主 题:Call for Contributors to Address Dependency Security Vulnerabilities
> Hi Seata Community,
> As you are aware, Seata is a transaction middleware designed to ensure data
> consistency across various resources. Its extensive extension mechanisms
> allow plug-in support for storage, RPC, database, and configuration
> registry.
> With such a broad scope of functionalities, Seata inherently relies on
> numerous third-party dependencies. These dependencies are often the subject
> of reported security vulnerabilities over time. It is in this context that
> I am reaching out to the community to rally our collective effort in
> addressing these critical security concerns.
> We need proactive participation from contributors like you to help patch
> these vulnerabilities, ensuring that any upgrades or replacements maintain
> the compatibility and integrity of Seata's features. Our commitment to
> dependency security is unwavering; we have successfully remediated over 200
> dependency vulnerabilities to date.
> We have set up a dedicated project[1] to track and address these security
> vulnerabilities. I earnestly hope that you will appreciate the gravity of
> these security issues and join us in our endeavor to resolve them. Our
> primary focus at the moment is on the Seata, seata-go, and the official
> Seata website projects.
> Here are the recent updates on our progress:
> 1. Thanks to the monumental efforts of liuqiufeng[2] and ptyin[3], the
> reconstruction of the saga designer framework and a wide-scale upgrade of
> dependencies have reduced the number of front-end vulnerabilities in the
> incubator-seata project to 25. However, we still have over 50 back-end
> vulnerabilities that need attention.
> 2. The security vulnerabilities on the Seata official website were
> significantly diminished from over 50 to less than 10, through an upgrade
> to the docusaurus from the docsite framework. Special thanks to
> chai001125[4] for this achievement.
> We invite you to join our fix plan and help make Seata safer and more
> reliable. Your expertise and contributions are invaluable to our community,
> and together, we can ensure a more secure environment for all Seata users.
> To participate or for more information on how you can help, please reply to
> this email.
> Thank you for your dedication to the Seata community and for considering
> this important initiative. Let's work together to continue to safeguard our
> technology.
