Comment (by ShadSterling):

 Yes, [https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/commands/npm-outdated `npm outdated`]
 lists packages that need updating

 The patch seems to be preventing updates to more than just npm itself;
 `npm -g update` should update the packages listed by `npm -g outdated`,
 which doesn't include npm
