Any plans for a fix?

I opened a fix a few days ago. #707

As a strawpoll, I'm curious what packages you guys are using that depend on this package? It looks like it's not been maintained for a bit, and now there's a few alternatives to use, so it may be wise to try and get those dependencies updated to use a more up-to-date package.

Personally, I use node-argon, which used to depend on this, not anymore, they switched to just using node-gyp-build+prebuildify. See this commit: ranisalt/node-argon2@b476028#diff-7ae45ad102eab3b6d7e7896acd08c427a9b25b346470d7bc6507b6481575d519

Looks like glob was updated in rimraf v4 & v5 which removed the inflight package.

This fix would be good, we use libxmljs which pulls in node-pre-gyp - so we are impacted by this vulnerability. accepting @pnappa pull request would be great.
