Problem

Starting from this PR, and following the addition of Snyk in the CIs, we have encountered failures in the CIs. These failures are occurring due to Snyk identifying 14 vulnerabilities in the go.mod changes.

For more details, please refer to the comment made by @rootulp:

Snyk claims this PR introduces 14 new vulnerabilities b/c the go.mod changes. I don't think we should block the PR on it though

This issue has been opened to track the problem and ensure that it is addressed, particularly if it is deemed to be a critical issue.
