dependabot npm(deps): [security] bump cookie, express and cookie-parser

Depen d'Abot requested to merge dependabot-npm_and_yarn-multi-d684be5443 into master

Bumps cookie, express and cookie-parser. These dependencies needed to be updated together. Updates cookie from 0.4.1 to 0.7.1 This update includes a security fix.

Vulnerabilities fixed

cookie accepts cookie name, path, and domain with out of bounds characters

Impact

The cookie name could be used to set other fields of the cookie, resulting in an unexpected cookie value. For example, serialize("userName=<script>alert('XSS3')</script>; Max-Age=2592000; a", value) would result in "userName=<script>alert('XSS3')</script>; Max-Age=2592000; a=test", setting userName cookie to <script> and ignoring value.

A similar escape can be used for path and domain, which could be abused to alter other fields of the cookie.

Patches

Upgrade to 0.7.0, which updates the validation for name, path, and domain.

Workarounds

Avoid passing untrusted or arbitrary values for these fields, ensure they are set by the application instead of user input.
