Old and no longer supported, I'd remove it.

We should be safe even without this, as all of them can be safely overridden, with the exception of __proto__ but setting it to a string has no effect.
That said I'm also ok with this.

Without the key in result check, the test will fail because toString() can be overridden.

Yes, that's my point, if your query string has a parameter called toString the expected behaviour is probably to find that parameter in the parsed object.
It overrides the toString inherited by Object.prototype but that another issue. I mean ideally the parsed object should not inherit from Object.prototype at all but we can't use Object.create(null) due to old browsers support.

This needs a major version bump. |
Updated 'querystringify' to fix [WS-2018-0588 vulnerability](unshiftio/querystringify#19)

Currently, it's possible to override built-in properties of the resulting query string object if a malicious string is inserted in the query string, for example
?toString&will set thetoStringmethod of the object to thetrueboolean. This patch ensures that we never override built-in properties or previously set properties.
