How to Fix GHSA-23vw-mhv5-grv5

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

@hapi/hapi fixed: 18.4.1 
npm install @hapi/hapi@18.4.1
@hapi/hapi fixed: 19.1.1 
npm install @hapi/hapi@19.1.1
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 @hapi/hapi

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-23vw-mhv5-grv5, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @hapi/hapi

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @hapi/hapi in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 18.4.1), your application is affected.

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