Description

We've started getting this security audit when installing @jsforce/jsforce-node:

https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8cw4-87c7-c6xx

It looks like this package is on "csv-parse": "^5.5.2", and the CVE affects anything less than 7.0.2

Research direction

Start by locating the @jsforce/jsforce-node dependency declaration for csv-parse and reviewing how the package is installed and tested. Update the dependency to a version at or above 7.0.2, then run the relevant install and audit checks. Done means the GHSA-8cw4-87c7-c6xx warning is no longer reported without breaking the package.
