For more information
If you have any questions or comments about this advisory:
- Open an issue in VM2
Is GHSA-mrgp-mrhc-5jrq 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 vm2, and gives you the command that fixes it.
