This minor version upgrade for qs introduces a security fix that changes parsing behavior.

Key Change:

• The update addresses a potential Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability. It changes how comma-separated arrays are handled by ensuring all values are consistently counted against the arrayLimit option. Previously, some values could bypass this limit, potentially leading to excessive memory usage. [12]

Impact:

• This is a behavioral change that enforces stricter, more secure parsing. If your application processes query strings with large, comma-separated arrays that previously worked despite exceeding the arrayLimit, those requests may now be rejected. Verification is recommended to ensure that legitimate traffic is not affected.
