npm ls motiv.scss

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-2vqq-jgxx-fxjc, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls motiv.scss

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Motiv.scss in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.4.21), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls motiv.scss command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
