How to Fix GHSA-g3pq-3vvx-36w6
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Duplicate Advisory dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install praisonai@Latest secure release
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls praisonai
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-g3pq-3vvx-36w6, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls praisonai
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate Advisory 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 praisonai command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
