We can't update it currently due https://github.com/terser/html-minifier-terser/blob/master/package.json#L44, we still support node.js v10, but we want to make a major release soon and drop old Node.js versions and update deps, the original problem was solved by terser, so just update your transitive deps, sorry for delay and feel free to feedback
