Code Review

This pull request updates the "npm" dependency to "^11.6.1" in NodeJs/Sample/package.json. This upgrade is a positive step towards enhancing the project's security posture by addressing identified vulnerabilities related to improper Unicode encoding and directory traversal.

It appears "npm" is listed as a production dependency. Typically, "npm" is a development tool rather than a runtime dependency for an application. Including it in "dependencies" can unnecessarily increase the installed package size and potentially lead to longer installation times. Consider moving it to "devDependencies" if it's needed for development or build processes, or removing it if the project relies on the system's "npm".
