Installed Node.js and Terminal says I have vulnerabilities

Question

I am using Sublime Text. I have installed the Linter package and the ccslint and htmllint. To install the last two I have had to install Node.js on my Mac.

The CSS and HTML linters appear to work fine in Sublime.

However, when I installed the htmllint by typing the following into Terminal

sudo npm install -g htmlhint@latest

I get the following worrying message in Terminal:

In Terminal I’ve typed in and pressed enter:

npm audit fix --force

I get the following

When I installed Node I got the following message, which I don’t understand and have not done anything with. Is this connected with the vulnerabilities? And if so, what do I do?

Help!

Answer 1

There is not vulnerability report of NodeJS. The vulnerability report if for installed package htmlhint@latest. Take on mind, you will get a well known vulnerability report of all your scope package, every time you install a new one.

If you want to know more about these vulnerabilities run: npm audit without the fix command. Contact the maintainer package in order to get an update.

Answer 2

The package you installed has vulnerabilities. The maintainers need to update it or it will stay like this. You could of course update their dependency list but stuff might break!
