How to reproduce it?

@keleqi Mend automatically has detected that we are using an older version of bootstrap. If you remove the bootstrap exclusion from .yarnrc.yml you can also see the same error using yarn npm audit. The fix requires removing/upgrading patternfly, which is likely a lot of work, unfortunately.
