[Security] Bump send and express

Dependabot requested to merge dependabot-npm_and_yarn-multi-cf87d80143 into master

Bumps send to 0.19.0 and updates ancestor dependency express. These dependencies need to be updated together.

Updates send from 0.18.0 to 0.19.0 This update includes a security fix.

Vulnerabilities fixed

send vulnerable to template injection that can lead to XSS

Impact

passing untrusted user input - even after sanitizing it - to SendStream.redirect() may execute untrusted code

Patches

this issue is patched in send 0.19.0

Workarounds

users are encouraged to upgrade to the patched version of express, but otherwise can workaround this issue by making sure any untrusted inputs are safe, ideally by validating them against an explicit allowlist

Details

successful exploitation of this vector requires the following:

  1. The attacker MUST control the input to response.redirect()
  2. express MUST NOT redirect before the template appears
  3. the browser MUST NOT complete redirection before:
  4. the user MUST click on the link in the template

Patched versions: 0.19.0 Affected versions: < 0.19.0
