axios versions 0.31.1 before 0.33.0 and 1.15.1 before 1.18.0 contain an incomplete depth-limit bypass in toFormData.js when serializing objects with top-level keys ending in '{}'. Attackers who control object keys and nested values passed to axios form or parameter serialization can trigger a RangeError from JSON.stringify, causing denial of service in the affected request path.

Affected: npm: axios

## Summary

Axios versions in the fixed lines for GHSA-62hf-57xw-28j9 still contain an incomplete depth-limit bypass in `lib/helpers/toFormData.js`. When serializing an object with a top-level key ending in `{}`, axios calls `JSON.stringify()` on that value before the `formSerializer.maxDepth` guard can inspect the nested structure.

An attacker who can control object keys and nested values passed by an application into axios form or parameter serialization can trigger a raw `RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded`, causing a denial of service in the affected request path.

## Impact

The impact is availability only. No confidentiality or integrity impact was confirmed.

Server-side applications are the primary concern when they accept user-controlled input and pass it into axios as `data` or `params` for `multipart/form-data`, `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`, or default parameter serialization. Browser impact is limited to the page or request context unless the application builds a broader failure mode around the thrown exception.

The attack requires control over a top-level object key ending in `{}` and a deeply nested object value. The option `formSerializer.metaTokens: false` is not a workaround because it only changes the emitted key name; the value is still stringified.

## Affected Functionality

Affected paths include:

- `lib/helpers/toFormData.js` when a top-level key ends with `{}`. - `lib/helpers/toURLEncodedForm.js`, which delegates to `helpers.defaul…
