QID 980712: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for serve-static (GHSA-c3x7-gjmx-r2ff)

Versions of `serve-static` prior to 1.6.5 ( or 1.7.x prior to 1.7.2 ) are affected by an open redirect vulnerability on some browsers when configured to mount at the root directory.

Version 1.6.x: Update to version 1.6.5 or later.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
