Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Muhammara is a node module with c/cpp bindings to modify PDF with JavaScript for node or electron. The
 package muhammara before 2.6.2 and from 3.0.0 and before 3.3.0, as well as all versions of muhammara's
 predecessor package hummus, are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) when supplied with a maliciously
 crafted PDF file to be parsed. The issue has been patched in muhammara version 3.4.0 and the fix has been
 backported to version 2.6.2. As a workaround, do not process files from untrusted sources. If using
