chore(deps): bump qs, express and body-parser

[dependabot]

Bumps qs to 6.15.3 and updates ancestor dependencies qs, express and body-parser. These dependencies need to be updated together.

Updates qs from 6.14.1 to 6.15.3

Changelog

Sourced from qs's changelog.

6.15.3

• [Fix] parse: enforce throwOnLimitExceeded for cumulative array growth via combine/merge
• [Fix] utils: respect encoding of surrogate pairs across chunks (#559)
• [Robustness] parse: throw the arrayLimit error before splitting oversized comma values
• [Robustness] utils.merge / utils.assign: avoid invoking __proto__ setter when copying own properties
• [Robustness] utils: enforce arrayLimit consistently across merge's array paths
• [Perf] utils: make compact O(n) via a side-channel visited-set instead of Array.indexOf
• [Deps] update side-channel
• [Dev Deps] update eslint, mock-property, tape
• [Tests] parse: characterize current lenient handling of unbalanced bracket keys (#558)

6.15.2

• [Fix] stringify: skip null/undefined entries in arrayFormat: 'comma' + encodeValuesOnly instead of crashing in encoder
• [Fix] stringify: use configured delimiter after charsetSentinel (#555)
• [Fix] stringify: apply formatter to encoded key under strictNullHandling (#554)
• [Fix] stringify: skip null/undefined filter-array entries instead of crashing in encoder (#551)
• [Fix] parse: handle nested bracket groups and add regression tests (#530)
• [readme] fix grammar (#550)
• [Dev Deps] update @ljharb/eslint-config
• [Tests] add regression tests for keys containing percent-encoded bracket text

6.15.1

• [Fix] parse: parameterLimit: Infinity with throwOnLimitExceeded: true silently drops all parameters
• [Deps] update @ljharb/eslint-config
• [Dev Deps] update @ljharb/eslint-config, iconv-lite
• [Tests] increase coverage

6.15.0

• [New] parse: add strictMerge option to wrap object/primitive conflicts in an array (#425, #122)
• [Fix] duplicates option should not apply to bracket notation keys (#514)

6.14.2

• [Fix] parse: mark overflow objects for indexed notation exceeding arrayLimit (#546)
• [Fix] arrayLimit means max count, not max index, in combine/merge/parseArrayValue
• [Fix] parse: throw on arrayLimit exceeded with indexed notation when throwOnLimitExceeded is true (#529)
• [Fix] parse: enforce arrayLimit on comma-parsed values
• [Fix] parse: fix error message to reflect arrayLimit as max index; remove extraneous comments (#545)
• [Robustness] avoid .push, use void
• [readme] document that addQueryPrefix does not add ? to empty output (#418)
• [readme] clarify parseArrays and arrayLimit documentation (#543)
• [readme] replace runkit CI badge with shields.io check-runs badge
• [meta] fix changelog typo (arrayLength → arrayLimit)

Updates express from 4.22.1 to 4.22.2

Release notes

Sourced from express's releases.

v4.22.2

What's Changed

• fix: restore >20 array parsing for req.query repeated keys (8d09bfe6)
  • This also unifies array-cap behavior across notations. Indexed notation (a[0]=...) was historically capped at qs's default arrayLimit of 20 even in older qs versions; after this change it also allows up to 1000 items.
• deps: qs@~6.15.1
• deps: body-parser@~1.20.5

New Contributors

• @​suuuuuuminnnnnn made their first contribution in expressjs/express#7021
• @​SAY-5 made their first contribution in expressjs/express#7181

Release notes

Sourced from body-parser's releases.

1.20.6

Important: Security

• Security fix for CVE-2026-12590 (GHSA-v422-hmwv-36x6)

What's Changed

The reason for this release is a fix to the extended urlencoded parser returning objects instead of arrays for large array inputs (> 100) on qs@6.14.2+. (expressjs/body-parser#716)

• refactor(json): simplify strict mode error string construction by @​jonchurch in expressjs/body-parser#692
• fix: correct off-by-one error in parameterCount by @​abhu85 in expressjs/body-parser#716

1.20.6 / 2026-07-09

• Security fix for GHSA-v422-hmwv-36x6
• fix: improve limit option validation (#698)
  • Invalid limit values (e.g. unparseable strings or NaN) now throw instead of being silently ignored, which previously disabled size limit enforcement
  • null and undefined fall back to the default 100kb limit

• refactor(json): simplify strict mode error string construction
• fix: extended urlencoded parsing of arrays with >100 elements (#716)
• deps: qs@~6.15.1
