Description

npm fixed a critical security vulnerability in version 10.9.1. The current LTS of nodejs and the next version 23.3.0 are in npm version 10.9.0.

Usually when nodejs will update the npm version. Also in the meantime the upgrade is done, is there any solution to handle this issue, like we need to manually upgrade to latest npm or upgrade just that library(cross-spawn) in nodejs.

Start by reviewing issue #194 and the linked npm CLI issue 7902, then compare the stated Node.js 22.11.0 and npm 10.9.0 versions with the CVE details. Done means the repository records a clear resolution for npm 10.9.1, including whether a Node.js update or an interim npm/cross-spawn action is required.
