Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-13149)
CWE-ID: CWE-407 - Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to inefficient algorithmic complexity in expand() when processing attacker-influenced brace expansion patterns containing consecutive non-expanding {} groups. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted input string to cause a denial of service.
The issue can block the calling thread for minutes or indefinitely with a small all-ASCII input, and applications using Node's single-threaded event loop may fully stall a worker or process.
2) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-59874)
CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to loop with an unreachable exit condition in tar.replace() when scanning an attacker-controlled existing archive. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted tar archive with a negative base-256 encoded entry size to cause a denial of service.
Only applications that call the replace API on an existing attacker-controlled archive are affected; plain extraction-only workflows are not affected.
3) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-59873)
CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to allocation of resources without limits or throttling in the Unpack stream in src/extract.ts when extracting crafted compressed tar archives. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted archive to cause a denial of service.
The issue can exhaust disk space and CPU through decompression and parsing of highly compressible input.
