Solution: For npm users:

npm install minimist --save-dev eg: (minimist version: 1.2.5)

Add Resolution key adjacent to dependency key into package.json file

{
"resolutions": {
"minimist": "^1.2.5"
}
}

Add below line inside script key into package.json example:

"scripts": {
"preinstall": "npx npm-force-resolutions"
}

Remove node_modules, and then run command: npm install.

While npm audit fix fixes dependency
