graphql-upload project graphql-upload DOWNGRADE

Affected: 13.0.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 13.0.0

npm ls graphql-upload

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 13.0.0

npm view graphql-upload versions npm install graphql-upload@"<13.0.0"

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
