Research direction

Locate the dependency manifest and lockfile entries for path-to-regexp, then inspect how serve-handler currently pins version 3.3.0. Update the dependency to 8.4.0 and regenerate any lockfile data; confirm the resolved version is outside the affected range and run the repository's existing checks.

Description

serve-handler currently uses version 3.3.0 of path-to-regexp which is flagged as containing a high vuln by NIST and several scanners (CVE-2026-4926). Affected versions of path-to-regexp are >=8.0.0<=8.3.0.

path-to-regexp should be bumped to version 8.4.0 (according to GitHub Advisory Database and Snyk) to mitigate high vuln.

Please fix when possible!
