Bumps body-parser and express. These dependencies needed to be updated together.
Updates body-parser from 1.20.3 to 1.20.6

Release notes

Sourced from body-parser's releases.

1.20.6

Important: Security

What's Changed

Full Changelog: expressjs/body-parser@1.20.5...1.20.6

v1.20.5

What's Changed

The reason for this release is a fix to the extended urlencoded parser returning objects instead of arrays for large array inputs (> 100) on qs@6.14.2+. (expressjs/body-parser#716)

New Contributors

Special thanks to triager @​krzysdz for keeping this on our radar and effectively triaging the specific issue!

1.20.4

What's Changed

Full Changelog: expressjs/body-parser@1.20.3...1.20.4

Changelog

Sourced from body-parser's changelog.

1.20.6 / 2026-07-09

  • Security fix for GHSA-v422-hmwv-36x6
  • fix: improve limit option validation (#698)
    • Invalid limit values (e.g. unparseable strings or NaN) now throw instead of being silently ignored, which previously disabled size limit enforcement
    • null and undefined fall back to the default 100kb limit

1.20.5 / 2026-04-24

  • refactor(json): simplify strict mode error string construction
  • fix: extended urlencoded parsing of arrays with >100 elements (#716)
  • deps: qs@~6.15.1

1.20.4 / 2025-12-01

  • deps: qs@~6.14.0
  • deps: use tilde notation for dependencies
  • deps: http-errors@~2.0.1
  • deps: raw-body@~2.5.3

Updates express from 4.18.1 to 4.22.2

Release notes

Sourced from express's releases.

v4.22.2

What's Changed

  • fix: restore >20 array parsing for req.query repeated keys (8d09bfe6)
    • This also unifies array-cap behavior across notations. Indexed notation (a[0]=...) was historically capped at qs's default arrayLimit of 20 even in older qs versions; after this change it also allows up to 1000 items.
  • deps: qs@~6.15.1
  • deps: body-parser@~1.20.5

Full Changelog: expressjs/express@v4.22.1...v4.22.2

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.

Note

Low Risk
Dependency-only change confined to dev tooling servers; no production runtime path changes, though invalid body-parser limit config would now error instead of being ignored.

Overview
Bumps dev-only body-parser to 1.20.6 and express to 4.22.2 in package.json and package-lock.json, with no changes to app source.

These packages are used by local dev servers (scripts/loggingServer.ts, scripts/themeServer.ts). The lockfile refresh also aligns transitive Express stack pieces (e.g. qs, path-to-regexp, cookie, send, finalhandler).

body-parser 1.20.6 includes a security fix for limit-option validation: invalid limit values now throw instead of silently disabling size limits. Express 4.22.x brings query/body-parser dependency updates, including restored parsing for larger req.query array inputs.
