The Problem:
A user is trying to install the necessary node modules for their project using npm, but they encounter vulnerabilities. Despite using the latest versions of react-scripts and @craco/craco, the user still encounters problems. The user attempts to resolve the vulnerabilities using npm audit fix, but it only reports details without any resolution. The user seeks assistance in understanding the error and finding a solution to address the vulnerabilities and ensure a clean dependency list.
The Solutions:
Solution 1: Upgrade and Update Node packages
Upgrade postcss package:
Update the postcss package to the latest version in your project folder.
