Node.js security risk - anyone know a fix?

I ran a vulnerability scan with Kaspersky Internet Security and it says there are multiple vulnerabilities in node.js and the severity is high Kaspersky Threats — KLA11231

The version Adobe CC is using is very outdated at version 6.9.2.0 considering the latest version is 10.2.1.

I have downloaded the latest version but when you install it, it's placed in the program files directory. To try and get round this, in Adobe's installation folder, I replaced the 3 instances of 'node.exe' with the new version. Unfortunately, I don't believe this worked as I no longer see node.js running in task manager when I restart my PC.

I'd prefer to keep CC installed but considering the severity of cyber attacks that have been in the news over the past year, I'll have to uninstall it if no one knows of a fix.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Ok, thanks for the update and feedback, Michelleh96024108.  I would recommend you keep your local security software up to date to prevent any security concerns.

Michelleh96024108, which specific Adobe product or service is your inquiry in relation too?  What version of Adobe software do you currently have installed?  What operating system are you installing the Adobe software on?

It's in relation to Adobe Creative Cloud. The desktop application for it states it is the latest version. I am running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, which is also fully up-to-date. The 3 locations of the application Node.js: Server-side JavaScript (which is the bit that is out-of-date and I want to update) are:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud Experience\libs\node.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\CCXProcess\libs\node.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\CCLibrary\libs\node.exe
