Release notes

Sourced from express's releases.

v4.22.1

What's Changed

[!IMPORTANT]
The prior release (4.22.0) included an erroneous breaking change related to the extended query parser. There is no actual security vulnerability associated with this behavior (CVE-2024-51999 has been rejected). The change has been fully reverted in this release.

SonarQube reviewer guide

Summary: Updates Express to v4.22.1 and v5.2.1, relaxing dependency version constraints and removing duplicate dependency entries in package-lock.json.

Review Focus:

• Version constraint changes from exact pins (e.g., "1.20.3") to tilde ranges (e.g., "~1.20.3") across multiple Express dependencies could introduce unexpected minor version updates. Verify this aligns with project stability requirements.
• Removal of duplicate cookie and qs entries suggests dependency resolution improvements, but confirm no breaking changes in nested dependency structures.
• qs upgrade from 6.13.0 to 6.14.2 and side-channel dependency update from ^1.0.6 to ^1.1.0 should be tested for query parameter parsing behavior.

Start review at: package-lock.json at the Express v4.22.1 dependency section. This is critical because Express is a core framework dependency, and the cascading changes to its sub-dependencies (body-parser, qs, finalhandler, etc.) represent the bulk of this update and need validation for compatibility.
