How to fix?

There is no fixed version for http-cache-semantics.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Origin Validation Error via the _varyMatches() function, which fails to properly handle Vary: * (wildcard) headers due to byte-for-byte string comparison. An attacker can request URLs previously fetched by other clients to receive cached responses intended for different users, disclosing sensitive information across clients. The Vary: * directive signals that a response is uncacheable for any other request, but the flawed comparison allows the wildcard to be bypassed, enabling cross-client cache disclosure.
