This upgrade includes a major version increase for sequelize from v5 to v6, which introduces significant breaking changes. The upgrade for lodash is minor and includes security patches.

sequelize 5.22.5 → 6.1.0 (HIGH RISK)

This is a major upgrade with several breaking changes that require code modifications.

Key Breaking Changes:

• Node.js Support: Support for Node.js versions older than 10.x has been dropped.
• Promise Implementation: Bluebird has been removed and replaced with native Promises. Sequelize.Promise is no longer available, and all asynchronous methods now return native Promises.
• sequelize.import() Removed: The sequelize.import() method for loading models has been removed. You must now use standard Node.js require() or ES6 import() statements.
• Continuation Local Storage (CLS): For transaction support, you must now use the cls-hooked package and initialize it with Sequelize.useCLS().
• Model.upsert() Signature Change: The method now returns an array [instance, created] where created is a boolean (or null for some dialects).

Recommendation:
Developers must carefully review the official v6 upgrade guide and update their code to address these breaking changes. This includes refactoring promise chains, model loading, and transaction management. It is highly recommended to update sequelize-cli to version 6 as well.

lodash 4.17.4 → 4.18.1 (LOW RISK)

This is a minor version upgrade that contains security patches and bug fixes, including fixes for prototype pollution vulnerabilities. No breaking API changes are documented for this range.
