Description
url.parse() is deprecated, but is used in this library which can result in a similar error in many Azure Devops pipelines tasks.
(node:2582) [DEP0169] DeprecationWarning: `url.parse()` behavior is not standardized and prone to errors that have security implications. Use the WHATWG URL API instead. CVEs are not issued for `url.parse()` vulnerabilities.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)
See https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/issues/21565 for possible candidates.
