tmp allows arbitrary temporary file / directory write via symbolic link `dir` parameter
I found this old-ish issue which I suspect should be closed: https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli/issues/883
But even the latest version of commitizen contains the following issue:
# npm audit report
tmp <=0.2.3
tmp allows arbitrary temporary file / directory write via symbolic link `dir` parameter - https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-52f5-9888-hmc6

This issue is still not fixed as of now, even in the latest inquirer version. But once this issue is resolved, the inquire package should be updated: https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js/issues/1802
A new patch release of [email protected] is out removing the problematic dependency related to this issue.
You should be able to update the transitive dependency, might need npm audit if you have a lockfile present.
npm audit can't be used because commitizen is pinned to the vulnerable version: https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli/blob/master/package.json#L84
