There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - ### Summary When `qs.parse` is called with `comma: true` and `throwOnLimitExceeded: true`, a comma-
    separated value under a bracket-push key (`a[]=1,2,3,4`) is split into an array without being compared
    against `arrayLimit`, while the same value under a flat key (`a=1,2,3,4`), an indexed key (`a[0]=`), a
    nested key (`a[b]=`), or a dotted key (`a.b=` with `allowDots`) throws the documented `RangeError`. A
    single parameter such as `a[]=1,2,2,...` therefore produces an inner array of arbitrary length even though
    the caller opted into the hard limit. This is the `[]=` key form that the fix for CVE-2026-2391 (qs
    6.14.2) did not cover. ### Details In `lib/parse.js`, a comma-separated value under a `[]=` key is split
    and then wrapped as a single nested element (`val = [val]`, so that each `a[]=x,y` group counts as one
    element of the outer array). The `arrayLimit` check that 6.14.2 added for comma values runs after that
    wrap, so for `[]=` parts it only ever saw the wrapper of length 1. 6.15.3 added a pre-split comma count so
    that an oversized value throws before it is allocated, but gated it on an `isFlatArrayValue` flag that
    `parseValues` set to `false` for any part containing `[]=`, and did not pass it for object-valued input,
    so the gap remained. #### PoC ```js var qs = require('qs'); var options = { comma: true, arrayLimit: 3,
    throwOnLimitExceeded: true }; qs.parse('a=1,2,3,4', options); // RangeError: Array limit exceeded. Only 3
    elements allowed in an array. qs.parse('a[]=1,2,3,4', options); // { a: [ [ '1', '2', '3', '4' ] ] } (no
    throw) qs.parse('a[]=' + '1,'.repeat(1000000) + '1', { comma: true, arrayLimit: 20, throwOnLimitExceeded:
    true }); // no throw; a 1,000,001-element inner array is allocated ``` #### Fix `lib/parse.js`, applied in
    8859c37 on `main` and released as v6.16.0: the `isFlatArrayValue` gate is removed, so every comma-split
    value is counted against `arrayLimit` before splitting regardless of key form. An in-limit group under
    `a[]=` still counts as one element of the outer array, and the default (`throwOnLimitExceeded: false`)
    path is unchanged. ### Affected versions `>=6.14.2 <6.16.0`, fixed in v6.16.0. v6.14.2 introduced
    `arrayLimit` enforcement for comma values (the fix for CVE-2026-2391) but only for values not under a
    `[]=` key, and every release from v6.14.2 through v6.15.3 has the same gap. v6.14.0 and v6.14.1, where
    `throwOnLimitExceeded` exists but does not apply to any comma form, are covered by CVE-2026-2391 rather
    than this record. Earlier lines (6.7.x through 6.13.x) have `comma` but no `throwOnLimitExceeded`, so
    there is no hard cap on any comma path to bypass; releases before 6.7.0 have no `comma` option. ### Impact
    An unauthenticated attacker who can reach an application that parses untrusted query strings or urlencoded
    bodies with both `comma: true` and `throwOnLimitExceeded: true` (both non-default) can bypass the
    configured limit with a single `a[]=` parameter and force the parser to allocate an array proportional to
    the request size. The cost is strictly linear in the attacker-supplied bytes (about 0.1 microseconds and 6
    to 7 retained bytes per input byte; the same out-of-memory threshold as the documented default
    `throwOnLimitExceeded: false` path), so a transport-layer request or body size limit bounds it completely
    (and node's default maximum HTTP header size of 16 KB already bounds the request line, so multi-megabyte
    payloads need a body parser). The impact is that an opt-in hard limit fails open on one key spelling, not
    unbounded allocation from a small input. (CVE-2026-82562)
