A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HTML Data Processor for CKEditor 4.0 before 4.14.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script through a crafted "protected" comment (with the cke_protected syntax).

Is GHSA-vcjf-mgcg-jxjq 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 ckeditor4, and gives you the command that fixes it.
