Description

The brace-expansion library generates arbitrary strings containing a common prefix and suffix. Prior to versions 5.0.5, 3.0.2, 2.0.3, and 1.1.13, a brace pattern with a zero step value (e.g., {1..2..0}) causes the sequence generation loop to run indefinitely, making the process hang for seconds and allocate heaps of memory. Versions 5.0.5, 3.0.2, 2.0.3, and 1.1.13 fix the issue. As a workaround, sanitize strings passed to expand() to ensure a step value of 0 is not used.


Remediation Steps

  • Update the affected package brace-expansion from version 1.1.12 to 5.0.5, 3.0.2, 2.0.3, 1.1.13.
