@budibase/worker fixed: 1.3.20 
npm install @budibase/worker@1.3.20
@budibase/builder fixed: 1.3.20 
npm install @budibase/builder@1.3.20
@budibase/bbui fixed: 1.3.20 
npm install @budibase/bbui@1.3.20
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 @budibase/worker

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2022-3225, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @budibase/worker

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @budibase/worker in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.3.20), your application is affected.

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