Comment 2 Ben Beasley 2022-03-28 13:53:00 UTC
This is the second set of CVE bugs that have been filed against grpc in the past few weeks because it includes an example NodeJS project in its documentation.

Obviously, bugs in the unpackaged recursive dependencies of a sample project that is packaged as documentation are not bugs in the grpc package. To be affected by the bug, users would have to copy the example and build it (npm install), at which point they would be warned about security issues and have the opportunity to adjust dependency versions via “npm audit fix”.

I’m going to remove the package-lock.json file from this sample project and hope that that keeps grpc from getting caught up in these bug-filing scripts in the future.
