# npm

### How to replace an npm package

1. In the root directory of your project, open the `package.json` file.
2. If the vulnerability is in a direct dependency just replace the existing version constraint in the `dependencies` section:

   ```json
   {
      "dependencies": {
         "package": "1.7.9-sp1"
      }
   }
   ```
3. If the vulnerability is in a transitive dependency just add to the `overrides` section (if one doesn't exist yet, you'll have to add it to the file) the following:

   ```json
   {
      "overrides": {
         "package@1.7.9": "1.7.9-sp1"
      }
   }
   ```
4. In the root directory, run `npm install`.
