"The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the

- The npm ci command in npm 7.x and 8.x through 8.1.3 proceeds with an installation even if dependency
information in package-lock.json differs from package.json. This behavior is inconsistent with the
documentation, and makes it easier for attackers to install malware that was supposed to have been blocked
by an exact version match requirement in package-lock.json. (CVE-2021-43616)
