### Summary with writes the key of an empty array without encoding it, even though keys are encoded by default. A key that contains (or the configured ), , or therefore becomes query string syntax instead of data, so a caller-supplied key name can add parameters to the serialized query string, or cut it short. ### Details In , the branch returns early, before the code that passes every other key through and . So serializes as , but serializes as . The early return applies at any depth ( gives ), under every , with , and with a custom , which is never called for that key. With or , keys are intentionally left unencoded on every path; those configurations are not affected. #### PoC #### Fix Applied in 234d505 on and released as v6.17.0, and backported to v6.16.2, v6.15.4, v6.14.3, v6.13.4, and v6.12.6: the key of an empty array goes through and exactly as the key of any other value does, so now serializes as . Keys that need no encoding serialize as before, with two exceptions that match every other path: the brackets of a nested key are now encoded ( becomes , which reads identically), and with , a dot in the key becomes instead of (which previously misread as nesting). ### Affected versions - , fixed in v6.12.6 - , fixed in v6.13.4 - , fixed in v6.14.3 - , fixed in v6.15.4 - , fixed in v6.16.2 v6.17.0 and later are not affected. was introduced in f22b2bc and first shipped in v6.12.0, with this early return. Earlier versions have no option and are not affected. ### Impact An application that passes an object whose key names come from untrusted input to with (for example, to forward a parsed JSON body or user-selected fields to an upstream service) can have parameters injected into the resulting query string. The injected parameters are not keys of the object, so deleting or overwriting a key on the object (such as setting a trusted after copying the user's fields) does not remove them; whether the attacker's value or the application's wins depends on how the receivin
