Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, addresses two medium-severity vulnerabilities by upgrading express and parse-server. While applying security patches is important, the upgrade of parse-server from version 5.2.1 to 8.5.0 is a significant jump across three major versions. This introduces a high risk of breaking changes, as confirmed by the Snyk metadata. I've left detailed comments regarding the need for careful review of the dependencies' release notes and extensive testing to prevent potential regressions. Please ensure the application is thoroughly tested before merging.

This PR upgrades parse-server from version 5.2.1 to 8.5.0. This is a major version jump across three major releases (v6, v7, v8). The Snyk PR description also indicates this is a breaking change (isBreakingChange:true). Major version upgrades often introduce significant breaking changes that can affect your application's functionality, including changes to APIs, configuration options, and required Node.js versions.
It is crucial to:
- Thoroughly review the release notes for
parse-serverversions 6.x, 7.x, and 8.x to identify all breaking changes. - Update your application code to be compatible with the new version.
- Perform extensive testing beyond the existing test suite to ensure all features of your application work as expected. The current test suite seems to cover only basic functionality and may not catch regressions in more complex areas.
Failing to do so could lead to unexpected behavior or break your application in production.

The upgrade of express from 4.18.1 to 4.22.0 is a minor version update. While it should be backward-compatible according to semantic versioning, it's still important to test your application's routing and middleware to ensure there are no regressions, especially since the patch addresses a security vulnerability (Prototype Pollution) which can sometimes have subtle side effects on request handling.
