Research direction

Trace the reported chain from pm2@5.3.0 through @pm2/agent, proxy-agent, pac-proxy-agent, pac-resolver, and degenerator to vm2@3.9.14. Review the CVE-2023-29017 advisory and the linked vm2 fix; done means the packaged dependency resolves to a version newer than 3.9.15 and the vulnerability is no longer reported.
