This upgrade of lodash from 4.17.4 to 4.18.1 is a minor version update that includes security fixes which may introduce behavioral changes.

Key Changes:

• Behavioral Change in _.unset / _.omit: To fix a prototype pollution vulnerability (GHSA-f23m-r3pf-42rh), attempts to use these functions to modify an object's constructor or prototype will now fail silently, returning false instead of true. Calls that previously deleted the property will now leave the target object untouched. This could affect code that relied on the previous, unsafe behavior.
• Security Fix in _.template: Patches a code injection vulnerability (GHSA-r5fr-rjxr-66jc) by adding stricter validation to the imports option.
• Build Fix: Version 4.18.1 corrects a ReferenceError issue in modular builds of template and fromPairs that was present in 4.18.0.

Recommendation: While these are primarily security-driven changes, the modification to _.unset and _.omit is a behavioral change. It is recommended to verify that your application does not rely on the old, unsafe behavior of modifying object prototypes with these functions.
