"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-3277 advisory.
The brace-expansion library generates arbitrary strings containing a common prefix and suffix. Prior to
1.1.19, 2.1.5, 3.0.7, and 5.0.10, crafted brace patterns can exhaust the native stack in parseCommaParts
because parseCommaParts recursively processes the remainder once per brace group and uses push.apply to
pass every element of a very large comma-part array as a function argument. Patterns containing many
comma-separated brace groups trigger the recursive path, while the large array triggers the argument-array
path without deep recursion. These paths cause recursive and argument-array native stack exhaustion before
max or maxLength can limit output, potentially terminating the Node.js process in a process-terminating
denial of service. This issue is fixed in versions 1.1.19, 2.1.5, 3.0.7, and 5.0.10. (CVE-2026-102276)
undici's retry interceptor can append the body of a ranged retry response to bytes already delivered from
an earlier partial response while still presenting the original response's status and headers. This
happens when an upstream server delivers part of a body without a trustworthy resume checkpoint, for
example a non-success response whose headers were already sent or a partial-content response with an
unusable content range, then closes the connection and answers the resumed range request with more bytes.
As a result the response body can be longer than the Content-Length that the application observes. An
application that relays such a response to a downstream HTTP/1.1 peer without normalizing the framing can
emit a body that exceeds the forwarded Content-Length, and the excess bytes can be interpreted as the
start of a following response, which enables downstream response splitting or desynchronization.
Exploitation requires an attacker-controlled upstream server and an application that forwards the response
through a framing-sensitive path. This affects undici versions before 6.28.1, from 7.0.0 up to 7.29.1, and
from 8.0.0 up to 8.10.2. Users should upgrade to undici 6.28.1, 7.29.1, or 8.10.2. (CVE-2026-18540)
node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.18, node-tar coerces all-digit
PAX path and linkpath values in src/pax.ts to JavaScript numbers, causing downstream path handling such as
normalizeWindowsPath(entry.path).split('/') to throw an uncaught TypeError. This issue is fixed in version
7.5.18. (CVE-2026-59871)
node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.17, node-tar does not strip NUL
bytes from PAX path and linkpath records in src/pax.ts, allowing a crafted archive with values to reach
fs.lstat or fs.open and terminate the process with an uncaught exception. This issue is fixed in version
7.5.17. (CVE-2026-59875)
node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.21, node-tar's filesFilter in
src/list.ts uses the recursive mapHas helper to walk an archive entry path upward with path.dirname() and
no segment cap when tar.t(...) or tar.x(...) receives a non-empty member-selection list. A crafted GNU L
or PAX x long-path header with thousands of slash-separated segments reaches this.filter(entry.path,
entry) in Parser[CONSUMEHEADER] in src/parse.ts before Unpack[CHECKPATH] applies maxDepth, causing an
uncatchable RangeError stack overflow that terminates asynchronous and streaming Node.js consumers. This
issue is fixed in version 7.5.21. (CVE-2026-73566)
