How to fix?

Upgrade org.webjars.npm:node-fetch to version 3.0.0-beta.9, 2.6.1 or higher.

Overview

org.webjars.npm:node-fetch is an A light-weight module that brings window.fetch to node.js

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service. Node Fetch did not honor the size option after following a redirect, which means that when a content size was over the limit, a FetchError would never get thrown and the process would end without failure.
