Answer 1

This audit is just pointing out a vulnerability in your version of the webpack-dev-server package.

I don't think it's related to the other problems you're encountering when you run npm run dev as I'm currently using a vulnerable version of the same package in my dev environment as well and it works fine.

If you're using laravel mix, it is dependent on a vulnerable version of webpack-dev-server (2.11.1) so you can't really fix this problem and will see this annoying audit message until laravel mix is updated to use a newer, secure version.
