When I tried to setup p5.js project locally. I followed the steps given in Contributor Guidelines. When I ran **npm ci** command, it showed me **17 vulnerabilities (5 moderate, 7 high, 5 critical)** as given in the screenshot below

I tried to remove these vulnerabilities by running command **npm audit fix** but it didn’t worked. I also tried to update the package by running **npm update** command but the vulnerabilities still persists.

Can anyone tell me how to remove vulnerabilities?

Vulnerabilities reported by npm audit don’t necessarily affect your work on the project.
