Fix/package vulnerability api

[medtaher123]

Motivation

nstalling dependencies in the /api folder showed multiple security vulnerabilities. I ran npm audit fix to resolve most of them, but 3 warnings remain. I did not use --force to avoid potential breaking changes.

Fixes #758

Type of change:

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

Checklist:

• I have performed a self-review of my own code

Notes

• 3 warnings remain. We need to decide whether to use npm audit fix --force, which may introduce breaking changes.
• These changes need testing by others to ensure there are no unexpected issues after the dependency updates. I’ve already tested them on my side.
