This upgrade introduces a second version of the mongodb package into your dependency tree. Your project now depends on mongodb@^5.9.2 directly, but the mongoose@7.6.11 dependency has a strict requirement for mongodb@5.9.1.

As a result, npm will install both versions, which can lead to subtle bugs and unexpected behavior at runtime (e.g., instanceof checks failing, or issues with connection pooling if different driver instances are used).

To resolve this and ensure a single version of mongodb is used throughout the project, I recommend using npm overrides. Since this is a patch version upgrade, it's highly likely to be compatible. You can add the following to your package.json:

"overrides": {
  "mongodb": "^5.9.2"
}

After adding the override, run npm install to update your package-lock.json file. This will force mongoose to use mongodb@^5.9.2 as well, resolving the conflict and removing the nested mongodb dependency.

"mongoose": "^7.6.11",
"nodemon": "^3.0.1"
}
