Step up your Open Source Security Game with Mend [here](https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/full_solution_bolt_github)

Start with /package.json and inspect the dependency hierarchy from gulp-3.9.1 through globule to lodash-1.0.2. Determine whether the direct gulp upgrade to 4.0.0 removes the vulnerable transitive lodash version; done means the vulnerable dependency is no longer present and the project still works.
