Update dependencies to resolve security vulnerabilities

[Copilot]

Eliminates all known security vulnerabilities across frontend and backend by updating dependencies to their latest secure versions. Critical fixes include Express path traversal/XSS vulnerabilities, PostCSS parsing issues, and outdated Prisma/Zod validation libraries.

Frontend Updates

• Vite 5.4.14 → 6.0.3 (major)
• PostCSS 8.4.35 → 8.4.49 (critical CSS parsing vulnerabilities)
• TypeScript 5.5.3 → 5.7.3
• eslint-plugin-react-hooks 5.1.0-rc.0 → 5.1.0 (stable release)
• React type definitions, Tailwind, Autoprefixer, lucide-react to latest

Backend Updates

• Express 4.17.1 → 4.21.2 (path traversal, XSS fixes)
• Prisma 3.0.0 → 6.1.0 (major, +@prisma/client)
• Zod 1.11.6 → 3.24.1 (major)
• dotenv 10.0.0 → 16.4.7
• TypeScript 4.3.2 → 5.7.3 (major)
• ts-node-dev 1.1.8 → 2.0.0 (major)
• Type definitions for Node and Express

Schema Changes

Added required configuration blocks to prisma/schema.prisma for Prisma 6.x compatibility:

generator client {
  provider = "prisma-client-js"
}

datasource db {
  provider = "postgresql"
  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
}

Security Posture

• Frontend: 0 vulnerabilities
• Backend: 0 vulnerabilities
• Existing Zod validation schemas remain compatible with v3
• Frontend builds and Prisma client generation verified

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• checkpoint.prisma.io
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/nfv-net/nfv-net/backend-api/node_modules/prisma/build/child {"product":"prisma","version":"6.19.1","cli_install_type":"local","information":"","local_timestamp":"2025-12-24T05:43:28Z","project_hash":"50c50624","cli_path":"/home/REDACTED/work/nfv-net/nfv-net/backend-api/node_modules/.bin/prisma","cli_path_hash":"d61d (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

   • Critical security fixes for CSS parsing vulnerabilities

3. typescript: Update from ^5.5.3 to ^5.7.3

4. eslint: Update from ^9.9.1 to latest ^9.x

React & Build Tools

• @vitejs/plugin-react: Update from ^4.3.1 to latest ^4.x or ^5.x

Tasks

• Update frontend dependencies to latest secure versions
• Update backend dependencies to latest secure versions
• Update Express.js to fix critical vulnerabilities
• Update Prisma to latest major version (may require migration review)
• Update Zod to v3 (may require code changes for validation schemas)
• Update TypeScript across both frontend and backend
• Update all type definitions
• Add or update package-lock.json files for both directories
• Test frontend build and dev server
• Test backend API functionality
• Verify Prisma migrations and database connections
• Test all API endpoints with updated validation schemas

Important Notes

• Prisma 3.x → 6.x is a major upgrade - review migration guide and test thoroughly
• Zod 1.x → 3.x is a major upgrade - validation schemas may need updates
• Express security fixes are critical - prioritize this update
• Test database connections and Prisma schema after updates
• Verify all API validation with updated Zod schemas
• Ensure TypeScript compilation works for both frontend and backend

Expected Outcome

All dependencies updated to secure versions, removing known security vulnerabilities while maintaining full application functionality for both frontend and backend.
