Description

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

 - The package cached-path-relative before 1.1.0 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via the cache variable
 that is set as {} instead of Object.create(null) in the cachedPathRelative function, which allows access
 to the parent prototype properties when the object is used to create the cached relative path. When using
 the origin path as __proto__, the attribute of the object is accessed instead of a path. **Note:** This
 vulnerability derives from an incomplete fix in https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-
