Research direction

Inspect the project's JavaScript dependency manifest and lockfile, then trace nodemon:2.0.15 through its transitive dependencies to ini:1.3.8. Determine whether upgrading the direct dependency removes the vulnerable version; done means the dependency tree no longer includes the reported vulnerable ini release and the project still installs successfully.
