How to Fix GHSA-v7x3-7hw7-pcjg

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

renovate fixed: 19.38.7 
npm install renovate@19.38.7
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 renovate

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-v7x3-7hw7-pcjg, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls renovate

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Renovate in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 19.38.7), your application is affected.

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