Code Review

This PR, generated by Snyk, upgrades @types/axios. While this is a safe and minor update, it's important to address a more critical issue: the axios package itself is significantly outdated (version 0.18.0) and has known security vulnerabilities. I strongly recommend creating a follow-up to upgrade axios to a modern, secure version (e.g., ^1.7.2). This will not only resolve security concerns but also allow for the removal of the deprecated @types/axios package, as newer versions of axios include their own type definitions. It's also worth noting that the vulnerability mentioned in the PR description (SNYK-JS-XML2JS-5414874) appears to be unrelated to this change, as it pertains to the xml2js package.

While this update to @types/axios is acceptable, the more pressing issue is the outdated version of the axios package itself (line 9). Version 0.18.0 has known security vulnerabilities, including the potential for Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).

I highly recommend upgrading axios to a recent stable version (e.g., ^1.7.2). Doing so will patch these vulnerabilities and also allow you to remove the @types/axios dependency, as axios has bundled its own TypeScript definitions since version 0.21.0.
