Code Review

This pull request from Snyk aims to fix a vulnerability by upgrading body-parser and connect. While the connect upgrade seems to be handled correctly, the body-parser upgrade from 1.0.0 to 1.20.4 introduces a critical breaking change. The application will crash on startup due to an API change in body-parser. A code modification in servers/web.js is required to adapt to the new API. Please see the specific comment on package.json for details.

[gemini-code-assist]

The upgrade of body-parser to version 1.20.4 introduces a breaking API change that will cause the application to crash at startup.

In servers/web.js on line 38, the application uses app.use(bodyParser()). In body-parser versions greater than 1.5.0, this usage is no longer valid. require('body-parser') now returns an object containing middleware functions, so bodyParser() is not a function and will throw a TypeError.

To fix this, you must update servers/web.js to use the new API. The line app.use(bodyParser()); should be replaced with specific parsers, for example:

app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

This change is necessary for the application to work with the updated dependency.
