Code Review

This pull request, generated by Snyk, upgrades the mongoose dependency from version 7.6.11 to 7.8.7. This is a crucial security update that resolves two high-severity vulnerabilities. The changes in package.json and package-lock.json are correct for this upgrade. I have added one suggestion to also update the mongodb dependency version in package.json for better consistency and clarity. Overall, the changes are beneficial and recommended for merging.

[gemini-code-assist]

This dependency upgrade is important for security. While updating mongoose, it's a good practice to also align its direct dependencies that are also explicitly listed in your package.json. The new version of mongoose (7.8.7) requires mongodb@5.9.2, as reflected in the package-lock.json changes. To improve dependency clarity and consistency, consider updating the mongodb dependency on line 15 to ^5.9.2.
