How to fix?

There is no fixed version for org.webjars.npm:pug-code-gen.

Overview

org.webjars.npm:pug-code-gen is a Default code-generator for pug. It generates HTML via a JavaScript template function.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). If a remote attacker was able to control the pretty option of the pug compiler, e.g. if you spread a user provided object such as the query parameters of a request into the pug template inputs, it was possible for them to achieve remote code execution on the node.js backend.
