build(deps): Bump express and supertest to fix qs prototype pollution#206
Conversation
express@4 and supertest@6 both pulled in vulnerable versions of qs (<6.14.2, GHSA-hrpp-h998-j3pp). express@5 natively requires qs@^6.14.0 which resolves to the patched 6.15.0; supertest@7 drops formidable entirely so qs is no longer in that dependency chain at all. Also bumps @types/express (^4→^5) and @types/supertest (^2→^7) to match. All existing tests pass against the new versions. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes the qs prototype pollution vulnerability (GHSA-hrpp-h998-j3pp). The earliest patched version is qs@6.14.2, but neither express@4 nor supertest@6 could satisfy that constraint through their normal dependency ranges.
Rather than using a
resolutionsoverride (which would have forcefully replaced express's explicitly pinnedqs@6.13.0), this bumps the two blocking packages to versions that resolve qs cleanly:qs@^6.14.0, which resolves to 6.15.0 (patched). The express usage in this repo is minimal enough that the 4→5 migration requires no code changes — all existing tests pass.formidablein favour ofsuperagent@10, so qs is no longer in its dependency chain at all.Also bumps
@types/express(^4→^5) and@types/supertest(^2→^7) to match.
