How to Fix GHSA-f7r3-p866-q9qr

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Ircdkit dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

ircdkit fixed: 1.0.4 
npm install ircdkit@1.0.4
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 ircdkit

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-f7r3-p866-q9qr, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls ircdkit

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Ircdkit in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.0.4), your application is affected.

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