The hosted-git-info library is only used as a dependency within GAEN-Mobile. The root library, eslint-plugin-import has yet to push a patched version, however the vulnerable library functions are not present in the application; this issue has no risk for the GAEN-Mobile application. This issue may be safely closed.
