Body

Hi everyone, i'm building my first application ever, but i'm encountering an issue:

When i run npm audit i get some issues shows (see at the bottom). I received a Dependabot alert about it: a DOM Clobbering vulnerability in rollup. The suggested fix is to update to version 3.29.5 or later.

Here is my current setup:

• Current rollup version: 3.29.5 (as seen in package.json)
• Project type: React application using Vite

I've already updated the rollup version in my package.json file to 3.29.5, however, I'm still receiving the alert. . I also tried multiple time nmp audit fix --force but it only creats more issues.

Any help or explaination on how to fix this would be extremely appreciated!

Here is what i get when i run npm audit:

COMMAND: npm audit

npm audit report

rollup <3.29.5
Severity: high

Add this to your package.json file
"resolutions": {
"rollup": "^3.29.5",
"@rollup/plugin-babel": "^6.0.4",
"@rollup/plugin-node-resolve": "^15.3.0",
"@rollup/plugin-replace": "^6.0.1",
"rollup-plugin-terser": "^7.0.2"
}
and then run npx-force-resolutions
after that run npm install, this should fix the problem.

.Hi and thanks so much for your response!

added that to my package.json file but when i try to run npx-force-resolutions on my development evironment (Replit), i got the message Install Replit's Node tools [y/n] ... and then when i run npm install the same issues appear.
On windows powershell, if i try to run it in my app folder, i get this message: npx-force-resolutions : The term 'npx-force-resolutions' is not recognized as the name etc.

What i can do?

You can try responding with y when it asks, and then proceed with npm install again. also npx-force-resolutions doesn't exist directly. What you probably need is just npx npm-force-resolutions.
