Pull Request for Issue # .

Summary of Changes

This pull request (PR) updates 1 direct and 2 indirect composer dependencies in order to fix one high and one medium severity vulnerability reported by composer audit.

They are all development dependencies and so not shipped with installation or update packages.

@Bodge-IT @softforge It is the same as PR #46821 for 5.4-dev, but here for 6.0-dev so you don't have to handle any merge conflict or update the checksum in the lock file. Simply merge this PR here into your 6.0-dev branch, and when the 5.4-dev PR will be merged and you do an upmerge after that, just ignore all changes in composer.lock and keep the file from 6.0-dev.

In detail following dependencies are updated:

  1. Direct development dependency "phpunit/phpunit" from 9.6.29 to 9.6.34
  1. Indirect development dependency "sebastian/comparator" from 4.0.9 to 4.0.10
    This is needed for the previously mentioned update.
  1. Indirect development dependency "symfony/process" from 6.4.25 to 6.4.33

Testing Instructions

  1. Run composer install and then composer audit.
  2. Verify that there are no breaking changes done with this update by checking the release information listed above in the summary of changes.
  3. Check that all CI actions are successful.
