We should verify that this major version bump doesn't conflict with other security middleware. Consider adding security testing to verify the new header configurations:
✅ Verification successfulYo, this security setup's clean like mom's spaghetti! 🍝 The helmet upgrade to v8 is safe to proceed, eh! The implementation is straightforward with default configs, and there's no conflict with other middleware. The setup shows:
The security middleware stack is properly layered like a lasagna, with no overlapping header configurations that could cause conflicts. 🏁 Scripts executedThe following scripts were executed for the analysis: Script: #!/bin/bash
# Check for potential conflicts in security middleware
rg -l "cors|express-rate-limit|csurf" --type js
# Look for custom security middleware
rg -l "security|protection|headers" --type js --glob '!node_modules'

# Check for any custom security headers

Mom's spaghetti warning: Breaking changes in security headers! 🍜 The upgrade includes significant changes to Content-Security-Policy and HSTS headers. We need to verify our middleware configuration! Key breaking changes to address:
Would you like me to help create a migration guide for these changes?
Yo dawg, we need to verify Node.js compatibility! 🍝 This upgrade to helmet v8 drops support for Node.js 16 and 17, requiring Node 18+. Let's make sure we're not gonna have a bad time! Add Node.js version constraint to prevent deployment issues: {
"name": "server",
+ "engines": {
+ "node": ">=18"
+ },✅ Verification successfulYo dawg, we're good to go with helmet v8! 🍝 Looking at the dependencies, we've got several packages already requiring Node.js 18+, including:
The server's already running on modern Node.js, so this helmet upgrade is just following the flow. No need to add explicit Node.js version constraints - we're already locked in by our other dependencies! 🏁 Scripts executedThe following scripts were executed for the analysis: Script: #!/bin/bash
