I am trying to install Azure Functions Core tools with this command-

npm install -g azure-functions-core-tools@4

But receiving this Warning:-

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Debug versions >=3.2.0 <3.2.7 || >=4 <4.3.1 have a low-severity ReDos regression when used in a Node.js environment. It is recommended you upgrade to 3.2.7 or 4.3.1. (https://github.com/visionmedia/debug/issues/797)

I also tried installing the required debug package to resolve the issue but the warning persists:-

npm install -g [email protected]
npm install -g [email protected]

@khkh-ms you seem to be the main contributor to this repository for the last year, can you please run npm audit fix next time you're creating an update? That would resolve this issue immediately.
