Pin dependencies #155

Description

@sjockers

There's a (major?) NPM security incident that caused malicious code to be shipped with specific versions of several common NPM packages: https://socket.dev/blog/npm-author-qix-compromised-in-major-supply-chain-attack

The attack is apparently targeted at crypto transactions, so threat seems low for us(?). Still, it may make sense to take short-term steps against this:

Suggested steps (quick fix)

  • Remove version caret symbols: In components/components/package.json, remove all ^ symbols from package version numbers to pin exact versions

  • Remove previously installed dependencies: Delete both package-lock.json and node_modules folder

  • Reinstall dependencies: Run npm install to reinstall all packages with the exact pinned versions

  • Verify the project still works: Check storybook

  • Create new release: Make a new patch release of the components package with the pinned dependencies
