npm install ezseed-transmission@0.0.15
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 ezseed-transmission

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2016-1000224, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls ezseed-transmission
