Find, fix and prevent vulnerabilities in your code.

Overview

brace-expansion is a Brace expansion as known from sh/bash

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity via the expand function. An attacker can cause excessive CPU consumption and block the event loop by supplying a specially crafted string containing multiple consecutive non-expanding '{}' brace groups. The max option does not prevent this issue, as it only limits the output size and not the computational workload.

Remediation

Upgrade brace-expansion to version 5.0.7 or higher.
