Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: gruntcli (affected versions not specified)
Description: The gruntcli package is a piece of malware designed to steal environment variables and send them to attacker-controlled locations.

Recommendations:
  1. Delete the gruntcli package.
  2. Clear your npm cache.
