There is something that have been bothering me for past few months, and resulted in me archiving node-ip repo on github: github.com/advisories/GHSA-78x

Someone filed a dubious CVE about my npm package, and then I started getting messages from all people getting warnings from `npm audit`.

I just posted a comment on the advisory issue github.com/github/advisory-dat asking to remove it, but looking at dicer's advisory github.com/advisories/GHSA-wm7 I see that there might be a larger pattern in place?

GitHubCVE-2023-42282 - GitHub Advisory DatabaseNPM IP package incorrectly identifies some private IP addresses as public

@indutny if you want, I could help dispute and hopefully revoke the CVE

it's bogus that maintainers need to do this labor

@indutny great, I'll send an email

I'm on vacation this week, but can get the ball rolling over the weekend
