How to fix?

Upgrade org.webjars.npm:msgpack5 to version 6.1.0 or higher.

Overview

org.webjars.npm:msgpack5 is an A msgpack v5 implementation for node.js and the browser, with extension points

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion via the _transform method in lib/streams.js, where the decoder recursively calls itself when the chunk buffer still contains data after a successful decode. An attacker can send a stream of concatenated msgpack messages to trigger unbounded recursion, exhausting the call stack and crashing the process.
