npm find-babel-config depends on a vulnerable version of JSON5 - npm

The package manager npm gives a high severity vulnerability which I don't know how to fix. The advised forced fix wants to install a very old version of expo. Node is up to date (v18.14.1). There seems to be an outdated version reference in 'find-babel-config' to JSON5.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this dependency? I tried reinstalling and updating npm, including manually deleting node_modules and package-lock.json, cleaning npm cache and updating expo.

10 vulnerabilities (6 moderate, 4 high)
When I run:
npm audit fix // or
npm audit fix --force
I get the exact same error.
I then tried to see if updating the packages manually would help, for example by running:
npm install qs#latest
But I get the exact same issues.
I have also
deleted my package.json-lock file and the nodule modules folder and tried a fresh install. still yada
Why can't I seem to break out of this loop?
SOLVED:
I managed to get around it by using the auto install script and not npm from https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli#mac-linux-auto-script:
curl -sL https://firebase.tools | bash
I am able now to use firebase init log in and deploy.... phew!

How can I find the NPM package that is blocking a nested dependency from updating?

When I run
npm audit
It tells me I have a critical vulnerability in lodash. When I run
npm ls lodash
I have 47 instances of lodash being deduped.
How can I tell which of my dependencies are holding on to the vulnerable version?
If you temporarily add the vulnerable package at the patched version:
"lodash": ">=4.17.21",
to your package.json and then run npm update <VULNERABLE_PACKAGE> for the vulnerable package. NPM will update all the child dependencies it can.
You can then run npm outdated --depth=5 <VULNERABLE_PACKAGE> and it will show which dependencies are forcing an earlier version.

I have 5 moderate severity vulnerabilities when I checked the npm audit. How can I fix these errors given below?

5 moderate severity vulnerabilities
Some issues need review, and may require choosing
a different dependency.
These are vulnerabilities discovered and reported for dependencies your application is using. Generally, you will want to fix these by updating packages to the latest versions containing fixes for the vulnerabilities.
There is a command, npm audit fix, which can update the affected dependencies for you in most cases (It took me personally from 10.000+ to roughly 10 reports). This however by default will only use non-breaking version jumps (so by semantic versioning it will not jump a major version for example).
You can use npm audit fix --force to fix the remaining vulnerabilities (including semver-incompatible ones) if there are package updates, however you will need to look for breaking changes in the updated packages that may conflict with your program logic.
I highly recommend you look at the NPM Docs article below, it explains the whole process very well.

I have tried running npm audit fix and that doesn't fix the issue.
I have tried running npm audit fix --force which results in even more errors.
I have tried running npm i immer#8.0.1 which also does not work.
I am using nvm with node version 14.15.5 and npm version 7.5.4. I recently updated nvm to the latest version (0.37.2) and changed the default to the latest node lts (14.15.5), so I believe this may be the culprit but I can't figure out how to fix these 3 vulnerabilities.
A possibility is that there's an issue with me having not moved my global packages to the newer version of node.
Any help is much appreciated.
The issue has now been fixed. Just run npm audit fix.
