Hello everyone.
Do you know if there is a way to overrides the version of a transitive dependency imported using npm on Kotlin JS ?
Today on Ktor there is a dependency on ws with the version 8.5.0. And this version have a known vulnerability (cf here).
So when exporting a KMP project, this dependency will be explicit on the package.json of the productionLibrary.
The vulnerability itself is not a big deal but automated Yarn audits on Web project are alerting about this vulnerability and I'm looking for a way to either enforce a more recent version or avoid this dependency, as we don't use it.

I use, kotlinWrappers.nullWritable in a project. This has an NPM dependency on null-writable 2.0.1. For a reason I wanted to try with 1.0.5. I added an NPM dependency on that version and it was indeed used. So maybe try to simply depend on the version you want. Maybe declaration order is relevant.

Indeed ! It does not remove the dependency on the project kotlin-js-store/yarn.lock but I didn't realised that it overrides the version on the exported package.json. Thanks a lot 🙂
