Research direction

Start by comparing package.json on master with the published 0.3.24 dependency set, focusing on the removed uuid dependency. Confirm the package can be published as 0.3.25 with the vulnerable dependency absent; the issue is done when that patch release is available.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello,

V0.3.24 is dependent on a version of uuid which has vulnerabilities.

I see that the package.json currently on master removed the dependency with uuid.

Would it be possible to release/publish a new patch version 0.3.25 without that dependency, effectively fixing the related CVE?

Thank you very much.
