npm warn deprecated uuid@3.4.0: Please upgrade to version 7 or higher. Older versions may use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is known to be problematic. See https://v8.dev/blog/math-random for details.
npm warn deprecated @faker-js/faker@5.5.3: Please update to a newer version.

Recommendation:
Update Newman's dependencies to use the latest versions of har-validator, uuid, and @faker-js/faker.
