Fixed in: 0.8.13

Update to the fixed version for your release line, for example:npm install unzipper@0.8.13

Is GHSA-884w-698f-927f in any of your client repos?

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected unzipper, and gives you the command that fixes it.
