brace-expansion: brace-expansion: Denial of Service due to excessive memory allocation when expanding large numeric ranges

A flaw was found in the brace-expansion library. This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service DoS by providing a large numeric range for expansion. The library allocates excessive memory to generate all intermediate elements before applying the maximum limit, leading to high...

CVE-2026-45149 brace-expansion: Large numeric range defeats documented `max` DoS protection

The brace-expansion library generates arbitrary strings containing a common prefix and suffix. From 5.0.0 to before 5.0.6, the max option was being applied too late. When expanding a single large numeric range like 1..10000000, the sequence generation loop generates all 10 million intermediate...

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Overview brace-expansion is a Brace expansion as known from sh/bash Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling through the max option being applied after generating all elements in a large numeric range. An attacker can exhaust system...
