Description
decompress appears to be no longer actively maintained. The latest npm release is 4.2.1, published around six years ago.
I created a maintained replacement:
https://github.com/codler/decompress
It uses the exact same interface as decompress, making the upgrade straightforward with minimal or no code changes.
```bash
npm install @codler/decompress
```
The replacement updates the underlying implementation and addresses the known security issues, while preserving the existing API for compatibility.
For projects currently using decompress, switching to the maintained package should be a relatively simple upgrade.
It would be useful to either bring decompress up to date and address the outstanding issues, or point users toward a maintained alternative such as the one above.

Start by reviewing the current decompress package and the linked @codler/decompress replacement, then determine whether this issue should pursue an update or direct users to the maintained alternative. Done requires a decided direction and a corresponding maintenance or migration change, but the issue does not name files or tests.
