To resolve these vulnerabilities, you can follow these steps:

  1. Update vulnerable packages: Run the command npm update to update your packages to their latest versions. This will automatically update any packages that have vulnerabilities.

  2. Check for compatibility: After updating the packages, review the update changes and check if it’s compatible with your code. Sometimes updated packages may not be compatible with your code, you will then need to update your code as well to make it compatible.

  3. Manually fix vulnerabilities: If required, manually fix vulnerabilities by modifying code or updating dependencies.

  4. Resolve direct dependencies: If there are any vulnerabilities that haven’t been resolved through the above steps, update or remove the direct dependencies that are causing them.

  5. Run the audit again: Once you've resolved the vulnerabilities, run npm audit again to ensure that all vulnerabilities have been resolved.

  6. Keep your dependencies up to date: It’s important to regularly check and update your dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities from occurring in the future. You can use a tool like npm-check-updates to automate this process.
