jasmin fixed: Latest secure release 
npm install jasmin@Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls jasmin

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-9cq4-mhmr-84gm, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls jasmin

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

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

Source Advisory Statement

Version 0.0.3 of `jasmin` contained malicious code. The code when executed in the browser would enumerate password, cvc, cardnumber fields from forms and send the extracted values to `https://js-metrics.com/minjs.php?pl=` ## Recommendation If version 0.0.3 of this module is found installed you will want to replace it with a version before or after 0.0.3. In addition to replacing the installed module, you will also want to evaluate your application to determine whether or not user data was compromised. Users may consider downgrading to version 0.0.2
