Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, upgrades middy from ^0.27.0 to ^0.36.0. While the PR description mentions a fix for a prototype pollution vulnerability in xml2js, this seems incorrect as the project's dependencies do not appear to use a vulnerable version of xml2js.
Nevertheless, this upgrade is beneficial. It resolves a likely runtime error caused by an API mismatch between the application code (using httpErrorHandler) and the older middy version (which provided http-error-handler).
I've added a comment highlighting that while this upgrade is a good first step, middy@0.36.0 is still several years old and no longer maintained. I strongly recommend planning a follow-up effort to migrate to a modern, supported version of middy (such as v5 or an LTS release) to improve security and maintainability.

This upgrade to middy@0.36.0 is a good step as it resolves an incompatibility. The source code uses httpErrorHandler, which was introduced in middy@0.28.0. The previous dependency ^0.27.0 would install 0.27.1, which exports http-error-handler, likely causing runtime errors.
However, middy@0.36.0 was released in April 2020 and is now considered very outdated. The latest version is 5.x.
I strongly recommend planning a migration to a modern version of middy (e.g., the latest v5 or an LTS like v3) for several reasons:
- Security: Newer versions receive security patches. The version
0.36.0is no longer maintained. - Features & Performance: Newer versions have significant improvements.
- Modern API:
middyv1 and later use a more modular, modern API with packages scoped under@middy/(e.g.,@middy/core,@middy/http-cors).
This would be a breaking change and require refactoring, for example:
// Before (v0.x)
import * as middy from 'middy'
import { cors, httpErrorHandler } from 'middy/middlewares'
// After (v5.x)
import middy from '@middy/core'
import cors from '@middy/http-cors'
import httpErrorHandler from '@middy/http-error-handler'While this is out of scope for this automated PR, it's a critical maintenance task to address to keep the project healthy.
