"statement": "A denial of service vulnerability was found in the qs package for Node.js. The stringify function does not verify that constructor.isBuffer is callable before invoking it. An attacker who can influence object shape, for example through query parameters parsed with allowPrototypes: true as Express 4 does by default, can cause qs.stringify to throw a TypeError when that data is re-serialized. In typical Node.js HTTP frameworks the error is caught per request and returns HTTP 500. In code paths without an error boundary, such as async handlers or background jobs, the process may exit.", "threat_severity": "Important"}
