Steps to Reproduce

Start up command failed with the following error.

error Unexpected ( at 18, expected END: https://git.new/pathToRegexpError

We run npm audit fix --force before start up command to fix all vulnerable node packages.

Which upgraded version for path-to-regexp from 3.2.0 to 8.0.1 and its a breaking change for code-server with above mentioned error.

Below are the references which got upgraded.
GHSA-9wv6-86v2-598j
GHSA-qw6h-vgh9-j6wx

For now I downgraded the express to 4.21.0 and its dependency path-to-regexp@0.1.10 is used.

Expected

code server should be started, post upgrading vulnerable packages.

Actual

code server is not started

Logs

I am not sure this is something we can fix? If I understand correctly, this is a dependency of Express so we have to wait until Express is updated.

Somewhat recently we finally updated Express and path-to-regexp is now 8.2.0.
