Affected package

- Affected

Is GHSA-cph5-m8f7-6c5x 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 axios, and gives you the command that fixes it.
