Mongoose 6.x is End-of-Life (EOL) and no longer receives general updates. While this version addresses a specific security vulnerability (CVE-2025-23061), it is recommended to plan a migration to a supported version like Mongoose 8.x. Note that Mongoose 7+ introduced breaking changes, including the removal of callback support, which would require refactoring the database logic in files like routes/messages.js to use Promises or async/await.

Updating mongoose to 6.13.6 brings in mongodb@4.17.2 as a transitive dependency. Since the root package.json explicitly pins mongodb to 4.17.1 (line 13), this results in duplicate versions of the MongoDB driver being installed. Consider updating the root mongodb dependency to 4.17.2 or removing it if it is not used directly in the codebase to maintain consistency and reduce package bloat.
