Issue: We detected vulnerable dependencies in your project by using the command “npm audit”:

npm audit report

glob-parent <5.1.2 Severity: moderate Regular expression denial of service - https://npmjs.com/advisories/1751 fix available via npm audit fix node_modules/glob-parent

hosted-git-info <2.8.9 || >=3.0.0 <3.0.8 Severity: moderate Regular Expression Denial of Service - https://npmjs.com/advisories/1677 fix available via npm audit fix node_modules/hosted-git-info

4 vulnerabilities (2 moderate, 2 high)

To address all issues, run: npm audit fix

Questions: We are conducting a research study on vulnerable dependencies in open-source JS projects. We are curious:

  1. Will you fix the vulnerabilities mentioned above? (Yes/No), and why?:
  2. Do you have any additional comments? (If so, please write it down):

For any publication or research report based on this study, we will share all responses from developers in an anonymous way. Both your projects and personal information will be kept confidential.

Description: Many popular NPM packages have been found vulnerable and may carry significant risks [1]. Developers are recommended to monitor and avoid the vulnerable versions of the library. The vulnerabilities have been identified and reported by other developers, and their descriptions are available in the npm registry [2].

Steps to reproduce:

Suggested Solution: Npm has introduced the “npm audit fix” command to fix the vulnerabilities. Execute the command to apply remediation to the dependency tree.
