create-react-app made their own security problems by bringing in the entire world, npm audit just makes that clear. npm itself having vulnerabilities is a more serious problem and it's not clear that they're taking it seriously.

It's really disappointing to hear an important member of the javascript community not maintaining their library and then blaming npm when people rightfully complain about it. This is like getting mad at the guidebook for showing which
