Code Review

This pull request from Snyk correctly identifies and updates body-parser and express to mitigate a high-severity vulnerability ('Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling'). While the dependency updates in package.json are correct, the package-lock.json file has not been updated. This is a critical step that must be completed manually. Please run npm install and commit the updated package-lock.json to ensure the security fix is effectively applied when your project is built and deployed.

[gemini-code-assist]

These dependency upgrades are necessary to fix the reported vulnerability. However, as noted in the PR description, the package-lock.json file has not been updated to reflect these changes. Without an updated lock file, your project will likely continue to use the old, vulnerable package versions upon deployment. To complete this fix, please run npm install and commit the resulting package-lock.json file.
