Remediation

Immediate Action

<Specific steps to fix this vulnerability>

1. Upgrade Package

# npm: npm install <package>@<fixed_version>

# Python (poetry): poetry add <package>@<fixed_version>

# Python (pip): pip install <package>==<fixed_version> pip freeze > requirements.txt

# Ruby: bundle update <package>

# Rust: cargo update <package>

   Target version: `<package>@<fixed_version>`

2. **Verify Fix**

wraith scan <lockfile>

   Confirm that the vulnerability no longer appears in scan results.

3. **Test Application**
   - <Test area 1 - functionality that uses this package>
   - <Test area 2 - integration tests>
   - <Test area 3 - end-to-end tests>

### Alternative Remediation (if upgrade not possible)

**If breaking changes prevent immediate upgrade:**

- **Option 1: Apply mitigation controls**
  - <Specific mitigation - e.g., add input validation wrapper>
  - <Configuration change to disable vulnerable feature>

- **Option 2: Use version overrides**
  - Go: Add `replace` directive in go.mod
  - npm: Add `resolutions` in package.json
  - Backport security patch to current version

- **Option 3: Remove dependency**
  - If package is not critical, consider removing it
  - Replace with alternative package without this vulnerability

### Estimated Effort
- **Upgrade**: <hours/days>
- **Testing**: <hours/days>
- **Total**: <hours/days>
