Description
@babel/core
depends on vulnerable versions of semver
.
Babel uses Semver v6 for backwards compatibility. It's fixed in v7.
We are currently waiting on a backport of the fix to v6.
So is babel and vscode.
See here:
npm/node-semver#564 (comment)

Note that this currently is not a problem but rather just an inconvenience.
The vulnerability takes effect when user input is passed to semver
, which babel does not do.
