I started learning react and created my first app by running:
'npx create-react-app my-app'
After the app was built I got a warning in the terminal that says:
22 vulnerabilities (9 moderate, 13 high)
I tried to fix it by running:
'npm audit fix'
But it returned this:

I tried deleting the package-lock.json file and node_modules folder and run:
npm install
But it resulted in the same vulnerabilities, here is the report when I run "npm audit":

To address issues that do not require attention, run: npm audit fix
To address all issues (including breaking changes), run: npm audit fix --force
Should I use npm audit fix --force? If it helps, I run Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit Node version: v16.0.0 NPM version: 7.18.1
Thanks in advance.
