brace-expansion: DoS via exponential-time expansion of consecutive non-expanding {} groups

CVE-2026-13149 / GHSA-3jxr-9vmj-r5cp

More information

Details

Summary

brace-expansion's expand() exhibits exponential-time - O(2ⁿ) - behavior in the number of consecutive non-expanding {} groups. A short, all-ASCII input (~90 bytes/30 groups) blocks the calling thread for minutes; a slightly longer input hangs it effectively indefinitely. Because the dominant consumers run on Node's single-threaded event loop, one small input can fully stall a worker/process.

In expand_, post is computed unconditionally at the top of the function, before the early-return branches that don't use it:

const post = m.post.length ? expand_(m.post, max, false) : [''];   // always recurses
  ...
if (!isSequence && !isOptions) {
  if (m.post.match(/,(?!,).*\}/)) {
    str = m.pre + '{' + m.body + escClose + m.post;
    return expand_(str, max, true); // restart — `post` discarded
  }
  return [str];
}

For input like a{},{},…, the first {} is non-expanding, so control reaches the {a},b} rewrite branch - but expand_ has already recursed into post over the entire remaining tail, only to throw the result away.
Each level therefore spawns two recursive expansions over essentially the same remaining work: T(n) = 2·T(n−1) ⇒ O(2ⁿ).

The max option does not mitigate this: max only bounds the output-building loops; neither the post recursion nor the rewrite recursion consults it.

Measured on 5.0.6:

groups (n)	input bytes	time
20	60	130 ms
24	72	1.9 s
26	78	7.8 s
30 (PoC)	90	~2 min

Proof of concept

const { expand } = require('brace-expansion');
// 30 non-expanding groups, ~90 bytes — blocks for minutes:
expand('a{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{},{}');

Impact

Any application that passes attacker-influenced strings to brace-expansion.expand() - directly or transitively via minimatch/glob brace patterns - can be driven into a multi-minute-to-indefinite CPU hang by a tiny request, denying service on that thread/process.

Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release. The fix:

Defers computing post until after the early-return branches (and computes it locally in the $-suffix branch), so post is only expanded when a brace set actually expands and the value is used. This alone removes the exponential.
Converts the {a},b} rewrite from recursion to an in-function loop, so a long run of rewrites cannot grow the call stack.

Verified: the PoC drops from ~2 min to 0.55 ms, 5,000 groups complete in ~344 ms, and output is identical to 5.0.6 across a behavioral-equivalence suite (sequences, padding, $-prefix, a{},b}c, {},a}b, x{{a,b}}y, etc.). Post-fix complexity is ~O(n²) on this input class - acceptable for the security fix; a linear rewrite can be a non-urgent follow-up.

If immediate upgrade isn't possible, avoid passing untrusted input to expand() / glob brace patterns, or run such expansion under a timeout/worker.

brace-expansion: DoS via unbounded expansion length causing an out-of-memory process crash

CVE-2026-14257 / GHSA-mh99-v99m-4gvg

More information

Details

Summary

expand() bounds the number of results it produces (the max option,
100_000 by default) but not their length. By chaining many brace groups,
an attacker keeps the result count under max while making every result grow
with the number of groups. Building max long results — plus the intermediate
arrays combined at each brace group — exhausts memory and crashes the Node
process with an uncatchable out-of-memory error. try/catch around
expand() does not help: the fatal error terminates the process.

A ~7.5 KB input ('{a,b}'.repeat(1500)) is enough to crash a default Node
process.

Details

For N chained brace groups such as '{a,b}'.repeat(N):

the result count is 2^N, immediately capped at max (100_000), so the
max protection appears to hold, but
each result is N characters long, so the total output size is
max × N characters, which grows without bound in N.

expand_ combines each brace set with the fully-expanded tail:

const post = m.post.length ? expand_(m.post, max, false) : ['']
...
for (let j = 0; j < N.length; j++) {
  for (let k = 0; k < post.length && expansions.length < max; k++) {
    const expansion = pre + N[j] + post[k]   // grows one group longer per level
    ...
    expansions.push(expansion)
  }
}

The loop guard expansions.length < max limits how many strings are built, but
nothing limits how long they get. Each recursion level materializes another
array of up to max strings, one character longer than the level below, and —
because V8 represents pre + N[j] + post[k] as a cons-string (rope) that
references post[k] — those intermediate strings stay reachable through the
whole chain. Memory therefore scales with max × N.

Measured on 5.0.7 ('{a,b}'.repeat(N), default max):

groups (N)	input bytes	result count	peak RSS
20	100	100,000	~80 MB
50	250	100,000	~214 MB
100	500	100,000	~409 MB
300	1,500	100,000	~1,148 MB
1500	7,500	—	OOM crash

Proof of concept

const { expand } = require('brace-expansion')

// ~7.5 KB input — crashes the process with a fatal, uncatchable OOM:
//   FATAL ERROR: ... JavaScript heap out of memory
try {
  expand('{a,b}'.repeat(1500))
} catch (e) {
  // never reached — the process is already dead
}

Impact

Any application that passes attacker-influenced strings to
brace-expansion.expand() — directly, or transitively via minimatch / glob
brace patterns — can be crashed by a small request. Because the failure is a
fatal V8 out-of-memory error rather than a thrown exception, it cannot be caught
and it takes down the whole worker/process, denying service.

Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release. The fix bounds the total number of characters a
single expand() call may accumulate (EXPANSION_MAX_LENGTH, default
4_000_000, configurable via a new maxLength option), applied inside the
output-building loops so intermediate arrays are bounded too. Once the limit is
reached, output is truncated — consistent with how max already truncates —
instead of growing without bound. The limit sits well above any realistic
expansion (100,000 results hitting max measure ~1M characters), so legitimate
input is unaffected.

After the fix, '{a,b}'.repeat(1500) returns a bounded, truncated result in
~0.7 s using ~340 MB and never crashes, including under a constrained 512 MB
heap.

The fix bounds memory but the algorithm still rebuilds intermediate arrays at
each level (roughly O(N × maxLength) work on this input class). A streaming
rewrite that produces output in O(total output size) can be a non-urgent
follow-up.

If immediate upgrade isn't possible, avoid passing untrusted input to
expand() / glob brace patterns, or pass a small explicit max and
maxLength.

brace-expansion: DoS via unbounded intermediate arrays, bypassing the CVE-2026-14257 mitigation

CVE-2026-69152 / GHSA-rgw5-rvv9-x895

More information

Details

Summary

The maxLength mitigation added in 5.0.8 for GHSA-mh99-v99m-4gvg / CVE-2026-14257 is incomplete. It bounds the accumulator where results are combined, but not the intermediate arrays that feed it. A ~25 KB input still crashes the Node process with an uncatchable out-of-memory error, so try/catch around expand() does not help.

A second, related path in the same function lets a ~400 KB input block the event loop for over two minutes without ever exceeding the memory bound.

Details

maxLength was enforced in combine(), the single place output grows. Two arrays are built before combine() runs, and neither was bounded.

1. Comma alternatives accumulate without a running total (memory exhaustion)

Each alternative in {a,b,c,...} is expanded by its own recursive expand_() call, so each receives a full, independent maxLength allowance. The results were then concatenated into a single values array with no cumulative limit:

values = []
for (let j = 0; j < n.length; j++) {
  values.push.apply(values, expand_(n[j], max, maxLength, false))
}

acc = combine(acc, pre, values, max, maxLength, ...)

With A alternatives, values can reach A * maxLength characters before combine() gets a chance to truncate it. At the default maxLength of 4,000,000 and 400 alternatives, that is well past any default heap.

2. Padded sequences ignore maxLength while generating (CPU exhaustion)

expandSequence() was bounded by max (the result count) but never consulted maxLength. A padded sequence's element width follows the input, so {0...01..100000} with a wide pad generates max elements, each as wide as the input, only for combine() to discard all but a handful.

Memory stays flat here, because V8 represents the padded strings as cons-strings, which is likely why this path was not caught alongside the original issue. The cost is time: work proportional to max * width.

pad width	input bytes	results kept	time (5.0.8)	time (patched)
20,000	20 KB	199	~7.3 s	~20 ms
100,000	100 KB	39	~32 s	~20 ms
400,000	400 KB	9	~124 s	~18 ms

Output is byte-identical before and after the fix; only the wasted work is removed.

Proof of concept

Memory exhaustion, against 5.0.8:

import { expand } from 'brace-expansion'

const part = '{' + '0'.repeat(50) + '1..100000}'
const input = '{' + Array(400).fill(part).join(',') + '}'  // ~25 KB

try {
  expand(input)
} catch (e) {
  // never reached - the process is already dead
}

FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory
Aborted

Event-loop stall, against 5.0.8:

import { expand } from 'brace-expansion'

// ~400 KB input, returns 9 results after roughly two minutes of blocking CPU
expand('{' + '0'.repeat(400_000) + '1..100000}')

Impact

Denial of service. Any application that passes attacker-controlled input to expand(), directly or transitively through a glob or pattern-matching library, can be remotely crashed or stalled. The out-of-memory variant terminates the process and cannot be handled with try/catch.

Applications already on 5.0.8 are affected: the 5.0.8 mitigation does not cover these paths.

Patches

Both intermediate arrays are now bounded as they are built, using the same max and maxLength limits already applied in combine():

values tracks a running result count and character length while alternatives are appended, and stops once either bound is reached.
expandSequence() accepts maxLength and stops generating once the sequence's own characters reach it.

As with the existing limits, output is truncated rather than allowed to grow without bound, which matches how max already behaves. The defaults sit well above any realistic expansion, so legitimate input is unaffected.

Workarounds

If upgrading is not immediately possible, avoid passing untrusted input to expand() or to glob brace patterns, or pass an explicitly small max and maxLength.

Note that a small maxLength alone was not sufficient on affected versions: it was applied per alternative rather than cumulatively, which is the root of the first issue above.

brace-expansion: Quadratic-time expansion of the `{a},b}` rewrite causes CPU denial of service

CVE-2026-102277 / GHSA-q2hr-2g5m-vwhr

More information

Details

Summary

Expanding {a},b}-shaped input takes time quadratic in the number of literal } characters, blocking the event loop.

Bash preserves a quirk where a brace group followed by a comma set still expands ({a},b}). The parser implements this by rewriting the string and restarting the scan. Each pass absorbs exactly one } and re-scans from the beginning, so n trailing braces cost n full passes.

Reproduction

const build = n => '{a}' + '}'.repeat(n) + ',z}'

for (const n of [8000, 16000, 32000, 64000, 128000]) {
  const t = Date.now()
  expand(build(n))
  console.log(n, Date.now() - t + 'ms')
}

n	input	time	results
8,000	8 KB	110 ms	2
16,000	16 KB	446 ms	2
32,000	32 KB	1.7 s	2
64,000	64 KB	6.9 s	2
128,000	128 KB	27.7 s	2

ms/n^2 is flat at ~1.7 and each doubling of n costs exactly 4.0x - quadratic. 128 KB of input blocks the event loop for nearly half a minute to produce two results.

Mechanism

Instrumenting the rewrite branch confirms it runs exactly n + 1 times, once per literal }, each re-scanning the whole string.

There is a second multiplier. The rewrite replaces the group's closing } with the internal escClose sentinel, which is '\0CLOSE' + Math.random() + '\0' - about 25 characters. The working string therefore grows by ~25 characters on every pass:

n	input length	final string length
1,000	1,006	26,006
8,000	8,006	208,006

So the input is inflated roughly 26x, and that factor multiplies both the quadratic constant and peak memory. This makes it partly a memory-pressure issue as well as a CPU one.

Why `max` and `maxLength` do not help

The cost is in parsing, before the result set exists. The payload yields 2 results regardless of size, so neither bound is ever reached.

Impact

An application passing an untrusted pattern to expand(), directly or through minimatch / glob, can have its event loop blocked for tens of seconds by a payload well under minimatch's 65,536-character cap. For a single-threaded Node server that is a full stall, not just a slow request.

Degraded availability rather than a crash - the process recovers once the expansion completes.

Affected versions

Verified affected on 1.1.18, 2.1.4, 3.0.6 and 5.0.9, all within a few percent of each other (~460-490 ms at n=16,000).

Patch

The rewrite loop gets an iteration bound. Past the cap the remaining string is treated as non-expanding and returned literally, consistent with the existing max / maxLength caps, which truncate rather than throw.

Note this bounds the number of passes, not the cost of each: worst-case work remains proportional to cap x input length. The cap is set low enough that the residual is bounded in practice, and far above what any realistic {a},b} input needs.

Severity note

Scored 5.3 Medium (A:L) for consistency with GHSA-3jxr-9vmj-r5cp, the other algorithmic-complexity advisory on this package (CWE-407), which uses the same vector. The stack-exhaustion advisories on this package score A:H because they crash the process outright; this one stalls it.

brace-expansion: DoS via uncontrolled recursion on nested brace groups causing stack exhaustion

CVE-2026-102278 / GHSA-qhr7-859c-m2p7

More information

Details

Summary

expand_() recurses once per level of brace nesting. Deeply nested input exhausts the native stack and crashes the process.

This is distinct from CVE-2026-14257 / GHSA-mh99-v99m-4gvg, which made the tail iterative (recursion on m.post, driven by how many groups are chained). Nesting depth drives a different recursion that the tail fix never touched, so the documented constant-stack-depth guarantee only ever covered chained input, not nested input.

It is also distinct from GHSA-6j4f-fj2g-mc7p, which fixed recursion in parseCommaParts(). Both payloads below still crash with that fix applied.

Two recursion sites

Comma members. Each alternative of a brace set is expanded by a recursive call, so nesting a set inside every alternative recurses once per level:

expand('{a,'.repeat(4000) + 'z' + '}'.repeat(4000))
// RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Crashes at depth 3,907 - about 15.6 KB of input.

Single set. A brace set whose body parses to a single part is expanded by a recursive call before being re-wrapped (x{{a,b}}y -> x{a}y x{b}y), which recurses once per nesting level:

expand('{'.repeat(3200) + 'a,b' + '}'.repeat(3200))
// RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Crashes at depth 3,125 - about 6.25 KB of input. This is the cheapest stack-exhaustion payload known against this package: roughly a quarter the input of GHSA-6j4f-fj2g-mc7p (29 KB), and about a tenth of minimatch's MAX_PATTERN_LENGTH (65,536).

Why `max` and `maxLength` do not help

Both crashes happen while recursing into sub-expansions, before the result set grows. The payloads produce almost no output - the single-set case yields 2 results - so neither bound is ever the limiter. expand(payload, { max: 1, maxLength: 1 }) still overflows.

Impact

Any application passing an untrusted string to expand(), directly or through minimatch / glob as a user-supplied glob pattern, can be crashed. In Node a RangeError the application does not catch terminates the process, so a server globbing user input is exposed to remote unauthenticated denial of service.

Availability only. No code execution, no data exposure.

Affected versions

Verified affected on 1.1.18, 2.1.4, 3.0.6 and 5.0.9, at near-identical depths on every line (single set: 3,125 on all four; comma members: 3,907-4,102). Not a regression from any recent fix - the gap predates them.

Patch

A maxDepth bound (default EXPANSION_MAX_DEPTH) is threaded through expand_(). Past the cap a group is treated as non-expanding and returned literally, which is how the parser already handles a group that cannot expand. This matches the existing max / maxLength caps, which truncate rather than throw, so expand() continues never to throw on any input.

The default sits far above any realistic nesting depth and well below the crash threshold.

brace-expansion: DoS via uncontrolled recursion in parseCommaParts causing stack exhaustion

CVE-2026-102276 / GHSA-6j4f-fj2g-mc7p

More information

Details

Summary

parseCommaParts() can exhaust the native stack and crash the process. There are two distinct ways to trigger it, both reachable from a single untrusted pattern string.

This is the parsing-side counterpart to CVE-2026-14257 / GHSA-mh99-v99m-4gvg. That fix made expand_() iterative and documented a constant-stack-depth guarantee, but parseCommaParts() was left recursive, so the guarantee only held for one of the two parsing paths.

Vector 1 - unbounded recursion on `post`

parseCommaParts() recursed on the remainder of the string once per brace group:

const postParts = parseCommaParts(post)   // unbounded

A brace group containing many comma-separated groups drives one recursion level per group:

expand('{' + '{a},'.repeat(7000) + 'b}')
// RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

About 7,300 repetitions - roughly 29 KB of input - is enough on Node 24; roughly 6,300 (25 KB) on Node 18. The threshold is identical on every affected release line.

Vector 2 - `push.apply` with an unbounded array

Even with the recursion removed, parseCommaParts() spread whole arrays into an argument list:

p.push.apply(p, postParts)
parts.push.apply(parts, p)

Function.prototype.apply places one argument per element on the stack, so a single large array overflows it. This needs no recursion depth at all - the following reaches a recursion depth of exactly 1:

expand('{{x},' + 'a,'.repeat(125000) + 'b}')
// RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Threshold is about 124,300 repetitions (~249 KB). This vector was not part of the original report; it was found while verifying the fix. A patch that only de-recurses but keeps push.apply leaves a working denial of service behind.

Why `max` and `maxLength` do not help

Both crashes happen during parsing, before any expansion. The payloads produce one result per group, so output size grows linearly with input and is never the limiter. expand(payload, { max: 1, maxLength: 1 }) still overflows.

Impact

Any application that passes an untrusted string to expand() - directly, or through minimatch / glob where it is a user-supplied glob pattern - can be crashed. In Node, a RangeError that the application does not catch terminates the process, so a server that globs user input is exposed to remote unauthenticated denial of service.

minimatch's own MAX_PATTERN_LENGTH cap (65,536) does not help against vector 1: the overflow threshold sits well below it. Confirmed on minimatch 10.2.6 - a 64,003-byte pattern passes the length check and overflows both minimatch.braceExpand() and new minimatch.Minimatch().

This is an availability-only issue. No code execution and no data exposure.

Not a regression

5.0.8 and 5.0.9 overflow at the same repetition count, so the gap predates the recent advisories; those fixes simply did not reach it. Verified affected on 1.1.18, 2.1.4, 3.0.6, 5.0.8 and 5.0.9, all at an identical threshold.

Patch

parseCommaParts() is rewritten as a loop that carries the partial part across chunks, and every array append uses an element-by-element loop rather than push.apply. The redundant if (!str) return [''] guard is dropped - the loop returns [''] for the empty string on its own.

Equivalence of the old and new implementations was checked by differential testing: exhaustive over every string of {, }, ,, a up to length 7 plus 300,000 random inputs - 322,000 cases, zero mismatches.

Severity note

Scored 7.5 High under CVSS 3.1 for consistency with the other availability advisories on this package (GHSA-mh99-v99m-4gvg, GHSA-rgw5-rvv9-x895), which use the same vector. The reporter self-assessed 6.9 Medium under CVSS 4.0 (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).
