Description
Dustjs-linkedin 2.7.5 still depends on chokidar 1.5.2, which depends on a component which has a vulnerability: https://snyk.io/test/npm/braces/1.8.5
This dependent vulnerability is fixed in newer versions of chokidar, including 2.0.0, 2.0.1, and 2.0.2:
https://snyk.io/test/npm/chokidar/2.0.2?tab=dependencies
Can you please upgrade dustjs-linkedin to depend on chokidar 2.0.2 which in turn depends on a newer version of braces where this vulnerability is resolved?
