Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-102276)

CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion

CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by crashing applications that process untrusted brace-expansion patterns.

The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion and unbounded push.apply argument lists in brace-expansion's parseCommaParts() when parsing untrusted patterns. A remote attacker can supply expand('{' + '{a},'.repeat(7000) + 'b}') or expand('{{x},' + 'a,'.repeat(125000) + 'b}') to exhaust the stack and terminate applications that do not catch the resulting RangeError.
