Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Packages qs from 6.7.0 before 6.16.1 throw an uncaught TypeError from qs.stringify when arrayFormat is 'comma' and an array element is an object whose own toString is not callable. An attacker who can influence an object that the application later serializes with that option can trigger the throw, which crashes a Node process that has no synchronous error boundary around the call. The fix is to upgrade qs to 6.16.1 or later.
