Description

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

 - react-dev-utils on Windows allows developers to run a local webserver for accepting various commands,
 including a command to launch an editor. The input to that command was not properly sanitized, allowing an
 attacker who can make a network request to the server (either via CSRF or by direct request) to execute
 arbitrary commands on the targeted system. This issue affects multiple branches: 1.x.x prior to 1.0.4,
 2.x.x prior to 2.0.2, 3.x.x prior to 3.1.2, 4.x.x prior to 4.2.2, and 5.x.x prior to 5.0.2.
