The package-lock.json file was not updated by Snyk as indicated in the PR description warning. This PR only updates package.json, which means the actual dependency versions will not be locked and the security vulnerabilities will not be fully resolved. The package-lock.json must be updated manually before this PR can be merged to ensure the correct versions of bcrypt and sharp (and their transitive dependencies including tar) are installed.

Suggested change

	"bcrypt": "^5.0.1",
	"bcrypt": "5.0.1",

The sharp package is being upgraded from version 0.22.1 to 0.26.0, which is a significant jump spanning 4 minor versions (0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26) over approximately one year. Sharp has had multiple breaking changes and API modifications between these versions. Before merging, it's important to:

1. Test all image processing functionality, particularly avatar uploads, image resizing, and format conversions
2. Review sharp's changelog for versions 0.23.0 through 0.26.0 for breaking changes
3. Verify that the API usage patterns in the codebase (found in app/assets/server/assets.js, app/file-upload/server/lib/FileUpload.js, and server/routes/avatar/utils.js) remain compatible with version 0.26.0

Note: The code at server/routes/avatar/utils.js line 18 uses the deprecated new Buffer() constructor which may need updating for compatibility with newer sharp versions.
