fix(security): mitigate CVE-2024-21505

The changes made to this commit were performed by running `yarn up -R web3-utils`
in the root directory of the project which upgraded all the transitive web3-utils
dependency versions. Finally the root package.json's web3-utils declaration had
to be manually bumped as well.
