Code Review

This pull request from Snyk upgrades the jsonpath dependency from ~1.1.1 to ~1.2.0 to resolve a Prototype Pollution security vulnerability. The change in package.json is appropriate. However, as the pull request description warns, package-lock.json has not been updated. It is critical to run npm install to update the lock file and commit the changes before merging. This ensures the patched version is used and the vulnerability is properly remediated across all environments.

[gemini-code-assist]

While this upgrade addresses the immediate vulnerability, the jsonpath package is reportedly unmaintained. Snyk's own vulnerability database (SNYK-JS-JSONPATH-567332) recommends migrating to jsonpath-plus, a maintained fork, as a long-term solution.

Migrating to jsonpath-plus would prevent future vulnerabilities arising from an unmaintained package. This is not a drop-in replacement and would require code modifications (e.g., in services/dynamic/json-path.js). I recommend creating a follow-up technical debt ticket to investigate and perform this migration.
