A lot of these cases that npm reports are denial of service vulnerabilities (and marked high risk!). I just tried it on a project I have, and 11 out of 15 are DOS vulnerabilities in code that I run locally. When the normal user is using a project only locally, and the issue is DOS, it's hard to argue "but maybe someone will eventually put it online" and therefore I need to drop what I'm doing and patch my dependencies. (Yes, sometimes that would be the only way to satisfy npm, since the semver rules prevent it from fixing things automatically.) |
