Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for node-kind-of.

CVE-2019-20149[0]:
| ctorName in index.js in kind-of v6.0.2 allows external user input to
| overwrite certain internal attributes via a conflicting name, as
| demonstrated by 'constructor': {'name':'Symbol'}. Hence, a crafted
| payload can overwrite this builtin attribute to manipulate the type
| detection result.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
