I created an app using `express-generator` and on running `npm i` i am told that some of the modules have high and several critical level security vulnerabilities.
I ran `npm audit fix --force` which still didn't fix the problem.
I referred https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57923270/vulnerabilities-problem-using-npm-install which asked to uninstall `jade` and install `pug` instead which fixed the issue.
I believe this should be inbuilt and the user should not be required to manually install `pug`.
