This tool checks the output from npm audit --summary --json or yarn audit --summary --json and then fails based on the severity provided.

If there are vulnerabilities reported on or above the threshold passed the tool will exit with a non zero error code, which can be used in CI to fail builds.

The npm audit tool currently doesn't allow a way of defining which severity of vulnerabilities should be considered acceptable out of the various levels defined for npm security advisories - namely info | low | moderate | high | critical.

You might not care about info or low but want to fail CI jobs if a moderate or above is found, which used to be possible with nsp using the --cvss-threshold option.
