Patch the remaining form-data dependency.
server/package-lock.json still resolves node_modules/axios/node_modules/form-data to 4.0.0. This is below the patched 4.0.4; update the vulnerable locked version before merge.

Thanks for the CVE-2025-7783 bump — the direct form-data dependency is correctly moved off 2.5.1.
However, this PR does not fully remediate the CVE in server/package-lock.json. axios still nests form-data@4.0.0 (node_modules/axios/node_modules/form-data), which is in the vulnerable 4.0.0–4.0.3 range. That nested copy matters more in practice: Gladys uses axios for HTTP (server/lib/http/http.request.js and several integrations), while the top-level form-data package is not directly require’d in server source.
Please update the lockfile so every resolved form-data under server/ is patched (>=2.5.4 / >=3.0.4 / >=4.0.4). Practical options:
- Add an
overridesentry forcing nestedform-dataunderaxiosto^4.0.4(front already usesoverrides), or - Bump
axiosto>=1.11.0(those releases declareform-data: ^4.0.4), then regenerate the lockfile.
Also prefer ^2.5.5 (or newer 2.5.x) for the direct dependency — npm marks 2.5.4 as deprecated (“incorrect dependency; please use v2.5.5”).
Not approving until the nested vulnerable copy is gone. No risk:high / needs:human-review — this is a clear incomplete security dependency fix, not a product/philosophy question. CI is green, but that does not validate the CVE is cleared.

Incomplete CVE-2025-7783 fix: bumping the direct dependency to ^2.5.4 only patches node_modules/form-data. The lockfile still resolves node_modules/axios/node_modules/form-data to 4.0.0, which remains vulnerable (4.0.0–4.0.3).
Axios is the path Gladys actually uses for HTTP multipart; the top-level form-data package is not imported in server source. Please also patch that nested copy (npm overrides on axios → form-data, or bump axios to >=1.11.0 which depends on form-data: ^4.0.4) and regenerate server/package-lock.json.
Secondary: prefer ^2.5.5+ here — 2.5.4 is deprecated on npm for an incorrect dependency declaration.

This lock entry correctly moves off 2.5.1, but npm publishes 2.5.4 as deprecated (please use v2.5.5). Please bump to 2.5.5 or 2.5.6 when regenerating the lockfile, and ensure the nested axios copy is not left at 4.0.0.


Summary
Upgrade form-data from 2.5.1 to 2.5.4, 3.0.4, 4.0.4 to fix CVE-2025-7783.

server/package.jsonserver/package-lock.jsonBehavior Preservation
The change is scoped to 2 files on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.
This change addresses a pattern flagged by static analysis. The code path handles user-influenced input and the fix reduces the attack surface against both manual and automated exploitation.
