This upgrade to express@4.22.0 contains an erroneous breaking change that was later reverted in version 4.22.1.

Breaking Change in 4.22.0:

• A change was introduced related to the extended query parser, which was identified as an erroneous breaking change. The GitHub release notes for version 4.22.1 explicitly state that this change was reverted. [6]

Other Notable Changes:

• 4.20.0: The default depth for parsing URL-encoded data was changed from Infinity to 32. This could affect applications that process deeply nested objects in query strings. [4]
• The versions between 4.18.1 and 4.22.0 also include various security fixes, bug fixes, and minor, non-breaking features. [2, 8]

Source: GitHub Release Notes

Recommendation: It is highly recommended to upgrade to express@4.22.1 or a later version to avoid the known breaking change present in 4.22.0. If you must use 4.22.0, thoroughly test functionality related to query string parsing.
