@sudip-mondal-2002 I am interested to work on this issue.

After manually reviewing, I found that upgrading the npm version from "^6.14.16" to "^8.19.2", fixes 12 out of 13 vulnerabilities, as you can see in the above screenshot. Also, it is not a breaking change as the application runs smoothly after the upgrade.

So, shall I open a PR with the above changes?

after updating npm version have you checked if the project is running? i don't think so.

Yes, I ran the following in the root directory after updating the version:
npm run dev-install
npm start

and the project is running fine.

have you updated npm version in all the folders? root directory, api and app?

Yes, I've updated it in all the folders and it works fine. Still, you can check it in your local system to verify.
