Tailwind/Postcss/Postcss-import/etc. vulnerabilities

I'm trying to do a laravel install using the latest version (8.40) with Laravel/Breeze v 1.2.

After running the breeze install, npm is telling me there are 39 moderate vulnerabilities related to postcss and various other postcss plugins.

I've run npm audit fix and with the --force flag several times. It keeps bouncing between upgrading and downgrading Laravel-mix from v5.0.9 - v6.0.19.

According to the advisory page, it says to install postcss v8.2.10 or later, but that doesn't work either. I've also tried removing postcss and postcss-import, delete package.json and the node_modules folder the run npm install and I get the same result.

During this whole process, the vulnerabilities goes from 35 -> 39 -> 40 something. The highest it's gone is 68.

At this point, I can't start my project since these vulnerabilities won't let me install anything else.

Anyone else having similar issues?

Here's are the errors I'm getting:

npm audit fix --force
