Code Review

This PR upgrades express to version 4.22.1, fixing several security vulnerabilities. The change is correct and beneficial. I've also added a comment on package.json to highlight an opportunity to upgrade other dependencies, notably ejs, which has a high-severity vulnerability in its current version. Addressing this would significantly improve the project's security.

"body-parser": "^1.18.3",
"ejs": "^3.1.7",
"express": "^4.16.3",

While updating express, it's a good practice to review other dependencies for available updates, especially for security patches.

  • ejs: The current version ^3.1.7 is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. Please upgrade to ^3.1.8 or a later version (e.g., ^3.1.10) to fix this. You can find more details about the vulnerability here: SNYK-JS-EJS-2842323.
  • body-parser: The version constraint is ^1.18.3. While the lockfile is being updated to a newer version transitively, it's better to update the constraint in package.json to something more recent like ^1.20.4 for clarity and to ensure future installations pick up newer patches.

Please consider updating these dependencies in this PR to improve security and maintainability.
