Month 2026-05: Security-focused dependency patch for the companieshouse/api-sdk-node, upgrading vulnerable dependencies (qs to 6.15.2 and uuid to 11.1.1) and applying a uuid vulnerability override, with related dependency updates. This reduces exposure to known CVEs while preserving API compatibility and readiness for future hardening.

February 2026: Security vulnerability patching in companieshouse/api-sdk-node. Key commits include 4fb42c7 (Update axios to fixed version); 393f680 (ASM-1140 Override vulnerable diff CVE-2026-24001); 4d47fcdf (ASM-1140 Drop glob override for NYC). Upgraded dependencies to address CVEs across the codebase, including Axios and related packages, updated diff to a non-vulnerable version, and refreshed ESLint-related tooling by removing deprecated packages. Also implemented a minor header management adjustment in the HTTP client to improve maintainability and reduce risk. These changes reduce exposure to known CVEs, improve build stability and test reliability, and simplify future maintenance for downstream consumers of the SDK.
