Release notes

Package name: express

• 4.22.2 - 2026-05-11
  

  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

  What's Changed

  Important

  The prior release (4.22.0) included an erroneous breaking change related to the extended query parser. There is no actual security vulnerability associated with this behavior (CVE-2024-51999 has been rejected). The change has been fully reverted in this release.
