[Security] Bump path-to-regexp from 1.8.0 to 1.9.0

Dependabot requested to merge dependabot-npm_and_yarn-path-to-regexp-1.9.0 into master

Bumps path-to-regexp from 1.8.0 to 1.9.0. This update includes a security fix.

Vulnerabilities fixed

path-to-regexp outputs backtracking regular expressions

Impact

A bad regular expression is generated any time you have two parameters within a single segment, separated by something that is not a period (.). For example, /:a-:b.

Patches

For users of 0.1, upgrade to 0.1.10. All other users should upgrade to 8.0.0.

These versions add backtrack protection when a custom regex pattern is not provided:

They do not protect against vulnerable user supplied capture groups. Protecting against explicit user patterns is out of scope for this library and not considered a vulnerability.

Version 7.1.0 can enable strict: true and get an error when the regular expression might be bad.

Version 8.0.0 removes the features that can cause a ReDoS.

... (truncated)

Patched versions: 3.3.0; 8.0.0; 1.9.0; 0.1.10 Affected versions: >= 2.0.0, = 0.2.0, < 1.9.0; < 0.1.10
