How to fix vulnerabilities in npm?

Question

When installing the packages always shows vulnerabilities.

I'm new to using React and I'm encountering some npm-related issues. Could you please provide clear instructions on how to fix them? I'm not very familiar with npm, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

First, you should try the recommended actions by the output. Whenever the console output tells you to do something, you should do it.

Try: npm audit fix and if that doesn't work, try npm audit fix --force

But remember, Bootstrap and React are large packages with many dependencies. Unless you are working for a large company that cares about data security, for your project, it should be okay if all components work as intended.

If you do care about the vulnerabilities, refer to https://docs.npmjs.com/auditing-package-dependencies-for-security-vulnerabilities for more information on fixing vulnerabilities
