Code Review

This pull request upgrades express-ipfilter from 1.3.1 to 1.4.0, which is an important security update to fix multiple Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities. While the change in package.json is correct, the update is incomplete without the corresponding changes to package-lock.json. I've added a critical comment highlighting the need to generate and commit the updated lock file to ensure the vulnerabilities are actually patched in your deployment environments.

[gemini-code-assist]

While upgrading express-ipfilter is the correct step to fix the SSRF vulnerabilities, this change is incomplete without updating package-lock.json. As the Snyk bot warned, the lock file was not updated. This is critical because environments using npm ci (common in CI/CD) will not pick up the new version if the lock file is not updated, leaving your application vulnerable. Please run npm install and commit the updated package-lock.json file to complete this security fix.
