Greptile Summary

Updated qs library from 6.11.2 to 6.14.1 across two packages (@requestnetwork/ethereum-storage and @requestnetwork/request-client.js). This update includes important security fixes and performance improvements.

Key changes in this update:

• Security fixes: Multiple fixes for parameter handling, including ensuring arrayLength applies to [] notation, handling null decoder returns, preventing crashes with filter keys, and fixing crashes with specific charset/delimiter combinations
• New security options: Added throwOnParameterLimitExceeded and strictDepth options for better protection against DoS attacks
• Performance improvements: Optimized performance under large data volumes with reduced memory usage
• Bug fixes: Fixed decodeDotInKeys default behavior and encoded square bracket parsing

The library is used in two locations:

1. http-data-access-config.ts - uses stringify() to convert HTTP request parameters to query strings
2. ipfs-manager.ts - uses stringify() with arrayFormat: 'repeat' option for IPFS API requests

Both use cases only use the stringify function for encoding parameters, not parsing untrusted input, which limits exposure to parsing vulnerabilities.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with no risk
• Straightforward dependency update from an automated dependency management tool (Dependabot). The qs library update includes important security fixes and performance improvements. The library is only used for encoding query parameters in two locations (HTTP client and IPFS manager), both using the stringify function rather than parsing untrusted input, which significantly reduces security risk. The version jump from 6.11.2 to 6.14.1 includes several patch releases with bug fixes and security hardening. No breaking changes are expected based on the changelog, and the update addresses known vulnerabilities.
• No files require special attention
