Update outdated dependencies

[Aditya-269]

Description

The project has several dependency-related issues that need to be addressed for better security and maintainability:

1. Outdated jQuery Version: The project is using older jQuery version which has known security vulnerabilities and is no longer maintained. This version is particularly vulnerable to:

   • Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
   • Prototype pollution
   • Other security vulnerabilities documented in the jQuery security advisories

2. Outdated Dependencies : Several packages in package.json are using older versions that have security updates available:

   • node-static (v0.7.11) has known directory traversal vulnerabilities
   • lodash.template has command injection vulnerabilities
   • Several other dependencies have security patches available
