[Snyk] Security upgrade react-scripts from 4.0.0 to 5.0.0

[TiagoSansao]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 8 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• front-end/package.json
• front-end/yarn.lock

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:

Upgrading react-scripts to 5.0.0 requires React 18 as a peer dependency, but this project is still using React 17.0.1. This mismatch will cause peer dependency warnings or errors during installation. To complete this security upgrade, you should also upgrade React and React-DOM to version 18. Update the following dependencies:

• "react": "^18.0.0"
• "react-dom": "^18.0.0"

Note that React 18 introduces some breaking changes, particularly around ReactDOM.render (now ReactDOM.createRoot). You'll need to update front-end/src/index.js accordingly.

Suggested change

	"react": "^17.0.1",
	"react-dom": "^17.0.1",
	"react": "^18.0.0",
	"react-dom": "^18.0.0",
