CVE-2026-27904:
minimatch is a minimal matching utility for converting glob expressions into JavaScript RegExp objects.
Prior to version 10.2.3, 9.0.7, 8.0.6, 7.4.8, 6.2.2, 5.1.8, 4.2.5, and 3.1.4, nested `*()` extglobs
produce regexps with nested unbounded quantifiers (e.g. `(?:(?:a|b)*)*`), which exhibit catastrophic
backtracking in V8. With a 12-byte pattern `*(*(*(a|b)))` and an 18-byte non-matching input, `minimatch()`
stalls for over 7 seconds. Adding a single nesting level or a few input characters pushes this to minutes.
This is the most severe finding: it is triggered by the default `minimatch()` API with no special options,
and the minimum viable pattern is only 12 bytes. The same issue affects `+()` extglobs equally. Versions
10.2.3, 9.0.7, 8.0.6, 7.4.8, 6.2.2, 5.1.8, 4.2.5, and 3.1.4 fix the issue.
CVE-2026-27903:
minimatch is a minimal matching utility for converting glob expressions into JavaScript RegExp objects.
Prior to version 10.2.3, 9.0.7, 8.0.6, 7.4.8, 6.2.2, 5.1.8, 4.2.5, and 3.1.3, `matchOne()` performs
unbounded recursive backtracking when a glob pattern contains multiple non-adjacent `**` (GLOBSTAR)
segments and the input path does not match. The time complexity is O(C(n, k)) -- binomial -- where `n` is
the number of path segments and `k` is the number of globstars. With k=11 and n=30, a call to the default
`minimatch()` API stalls for roughly 5 seconds. With k=13, it exceeds 15 seconds. No memoization or call
budget exists to bound this behavior. Any application where an attacker can influence the glob pattern
passed to `minimatch()` is vulnerable. The realistic attack surface includes build tools and task runners
that accept user-supplied glob arguments (ESLint, Webpack, Rollup config), multi-tenant systems where one
tenant configures glob-based rules that run in a shared process, admin or developer interfaces that accept
ignore-rule or filter configuration as globs, and CI/CD pipelines that evaluate user-submitted config
files containing glob patterns. An attacker who can place a crafted pattern into any of these paths can
stall the Node.js event loop for tens of seconds per invocation. The pattern is 56 bytes for a 5-second
stall and does not require authentication in contexts where pattern input is part of the feature. Versions
10.2.3, 9.0.7, 8.0.6, 7.4.8, 6.2.2, 5.1.8, 4.2.5, and 3.1.3 fix the issue.
CVE-2026-26996:
minimatch is a minimal matching utility for converting glob expressions into JavaScript RegExp objects.
Versions 10.2.0 and below are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) when a glob
pattern contains many consecutive * wildcards followed by a literal character that doesn't appear in the
test string. Each * compiles to a separate [^/]*? regex group, and when the match fails, V8's regex engine
backtracks exponentially across all possible splits. The time complexity is O(4^N) where N is the number
of * characters. With N=15, a single minimatch() call takes ~2 seconds. With N=34, it hangs effectively
forever. Any application that passes user-controlled strings to minimatch() as the pattern argument is
vulnerable to DoS. This issue has been fixed in version 10.2.1.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
