This behaviour is common when cloning a repo from github. Several packages have vulnerabilities and are not up-to-date. The 140 vulnerabilities include packages that are for production and development.

To check for vulnerabilities for production:

npm audit --production

To fix vulnerabilities for production:

npm audit fix --production

To fix every issue you can use npm audit fix, but be aware that some dependencies can be broken.
