'vulnerabilities error while installing via NPM, ( npm audit fix ) also not working

I was working on a react project and wanted to install react-icons so run npm install react-icons in the command prompt. but after a while it throws these errors,

F:\Areebs\React JS\areeburrub>npm install react-icons

So as you can see it says run npm audit fix so I did that also but,

F:\Areebs\React JS\areeburrub>npm audit fix

I have tried these things:

after this error I searched why this is happening, and checked these.

  • My NPM version is 6.14.12
  • My React Version is 17.0.2
  • My React Script Version is 4.0.3

One more thing I noticed,

the npm have installed the react-icons package but also showing these error, I tried to create another react app using create-react-app and there also it showed same errors.
