80 moderate severity vulnerabilities

To address issues that do not require attention, run:
  npm audit fix

To address all issues (including breaking changes), run:
  npm audit fix --force

Now when i run npm audit fix not a single one of them get fixed. I noticed most of them were caused by postcss so i went in and manually re-wrote the version in packages-locked.json so it would use the latest version of postcss but this just caused the whole thing to stop working. what do i do ?? do i just leave it like this? feels like a lot of issues to just leave.

I had posed this question couple of weeks ago here.

You can overcome this by forcing a resolution of postcss to ^8.2.10 temporarily. I wouldn't anyway worry much as a patch is being done as we speak, so it's just going to be a matter of time before it gets resolved.
