Backport fix for CVE-2026-13149, an unbound recursion
vulnerability in the brace-expansion module vendored by npm.
The upstream TypeScript fix was manually adapted to the
JavaScript version (brace-expansion 2.0.2) shipped in
Node.js 22. Key changes: wrap expand() body in a for-loop
to avoid recursive stack exhaustion on non-expanding {}
groups, defer post-expansion until a brace set is confirmed
to expand (preventing O(2^n) blowup), and compute post
inline for the $ prefix case.

Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2026-13149: Fix unbound recursion in brace-expansion
|
|
|
|
A run of non-expanding {} groups expanded post once per group before the
|
|
early returns that never use it, doubling the work on every group. expand()
|
|
ran in O(2^n) and blocked for minutes on a ~90 byte input.
|
|
|
|
Defer expanding post until a brace set is known to expand, and turn the
|
|
{a},b} restart into a loop so a long run of {} groups can't exhaust the
|
|
call stack.
|
|
|
|
Adapted from upstream TypeScript fix to the JavaScript version (2.0.2)
|
|
vendored in Node.js.
