• package.json

This minor update includes security fixes, one of which alters object behavior. While unlikely to affect most applications, it is a breaking change. Router methods like app.get() called without a path will now throw an error. [3] Additionally, to fix a vulnerability (CVE-2024-51999), the req.query object is now a plain object and no longer inherits Object prototype properties. [7, 9]

Source: Package documentation
Recommendation: Merge after ensuring no application code relies on req.query prototype properties and all router methods specify a path.
