npm audit is a tool used in Node.js projects to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in dependencies. It scans project files and provides a report detailing vulnerable packages, their severity, and how to fix them. The tool can automatically fix many issues, but sometimes manual intervention is needed. Regular audits, updating dependencies, and using npm overrides are recommended practices for maintaining the security of Node.js applications.
