 ### Response Code: 400 (Bad Request)

+In some cases **yarn npm audit** fails because the `yarn.lock` file contains a transitive dependency in unreadable format:
+```
+  'example-dependency': 'npm:example-dependency@1.0.0'

+A workaround is available using the `exclude` option:
+1. Update project **yarn** to >=3.3.0 (lower version doesn't support this parameter for **yarn npm audit**).
+2. Apply `npx yarn-audit-fix --exclude example-dependency`. This will cause **yarn** to ignore `example-dependency` while creating the audit report.
