Source: node-brace-expansion Version: 2.0.1+~1.1.0-2 Severity: important Tags: security upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], Debian Security Team <[email protected]>
Hi, The following vulnerability was published for node-brace-expansion. CVE-2026-25547[0]: | @isaacs/brace-expansion is a hybrid CJS/ESM TypeScript fork of | brace-expansion. Prior to version 5.0.1, @isaacs/brace-expansion is | vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) issue caused by unbounded | brace range expansion. When an attacker provides a pattern | containing repeated numeric brace ranges, the library attempts to | eagerly generate every possible combination synchronously. Because | the expansion grows exponentially, even a small input can consume | excessive CPU and memory and may crash the Node.js process. This | issue has been patched in version 5.0.1. Note the issue was announced/fixed in the isaacs/brace-expansion fork, but is present in the original forked code as well, AFAICS. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
