Pull Request

Description:
This PR pins the axios version to 1.14.0 in the light of recent events with respect to axios' security compromise.
This PR also introduces .npmrc with the min-release-age as 7 days, to avoid installing extremely new versions.

See: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/using-npm/config#min-release-age

Changes:

• Pins axios package's version to 1.14.0
• Added min-release-age=7 to .npmrc to block packages published less than 7 days ago

Next Steps:

• Review the need of all packages, and remove the packages, whose functionalities can be natively supported such as axios and uuid
• Pinning stable versions for rest of the packages

Testing:

• Since this change only pins the newest versions, there will virtually be know functional change
