Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to upgrade express to fix a security vulnerability. However, it attempts to upgrade to version 4.22.0, which does not exist in the public npm registry. This will cause the build to fail.

I've left suggestions to update express to the latest stable version, 4.19.2, in package.json and to regenerate package-lock.json. This should resolve the issue and fix the vulnerability.

[gemini-code-assist]

The target version 4.22.0 for express does not exist in the public npm registry, which will cause dependency installation to fail. I suggest updating to the latest stable version, 4.19.2, which also includes the fix for the security vulnerability.

Suggested change

	"express": "^4.22.0",
	"express": "^4.19.2",

This lock file is generated for express version 4.22.0, which is not a valid version available on npm. After correcting the version in package.json, please regenerate package-lock.json by running npm install.
