find-my-way: DDoS with HTTP2

Quick fix

GHSA-c96f-x56v-gq3h — find-my-way: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install find-my-way@9.7.0

Details

### Impact Remotely triggerable DoS in find-my-way when it is used with Node's HTTP/2 server.

The short version is that `lookup()` passes `req.method` into `find()`, and `find()` indexes `this.trees[method]`. Since `this.trees` is a normal object, HTTP/2 method values like constructor, `toString`, or `__proto__` can resolve inherited object properties instead of returning undefined. The code then treats that value like a router node and crashes when it reaches `currentNode.prefix.length`.

### Patches

Upgrade to v9.7.0.

### Workarounds

Do not use find-my-way with HTTP/2 servers, or validate that the http method is valid beforehand.
