Description
### As an Enterprise customer, I expect libraries which are maintained, managed and endorsed by Adobe to meet basic vulnerability scanning standards. This library in its current form introduces CVE's into organizations.
### Actual Behavior: 2 medium severity vulnerabilities have indeed been detected.
- SNYK-JS-INFLIGHT-6095116
- SNYK-JS-TAR-6476909
### Reproduce Scenario (including but not limited to)
Steps to reproduce can be found on Synk Security Vulnerability Database: https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-INFLIGHT-6095116
#### Platform and Version
N/A
#### Sample Code that illustrates the problem
```
const inflight = require('inflight');
function testInflight() {
let i = 0;
function scheduleNext() {
let key = `key-${i++}`;
const callback = () => {
};
for (let j = 0; j < 1000000; j++) {
inflight(key, callback);
}
setImmediate(scheduleNext);
}
if (i % 100 === 0) {
console.log(process.memoryUsage());
}
scheduleNext();
}
testInflight();
```

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the dependency manifest and dependency tree for the transitive packages associated with SNYK-JS-INFLIGHT-6095116 and SNYK-JS-TAR-6476909. Compare the findings with the linked Snyk and inflight reports; done means the affected vulnerabilities are no longer introduced by this library and the vulnerability scan passes.
