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.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
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.

"value": "minimatch es una utilidad de coincidencia mínima para convertir expresiones glob en objetos RegExp de JavaScript. Antes de las versiones 10.2.3, 9.0.7, 8.0.6, 7.4.8, 6.2.2, 5.1.8, 4.2.5 y 3.1.4, los extglobs anidados '*( )' producen regexps con cuantificadores anidados ilimitados (por ejemplo, '(?:(?:a|b)*)*'), que exhiben retroceso catastrófico en V8. Con un patrón de 12 bytes '*(*(*(a|b)))' y una entrada no coincidente de 18 bytes, 'minimatch()' se detiene durante más de 7 segundos. Añadir un solo nivel de anidamiento o unos pocos caracteres de entrada eleva esto a minutos. Este es el hallazgo más grave: se activa por la API predeterminada de 'minimatch()' sin opciones especiales, y el patrón mínimo viable es de solo 12 bytes. El mismo problema afecta a los extglobs '+()' por igual. Las versiones 10.2.3, 9.0.7, 8.0.6, 7.4.8, 6.2.2, 5.1.8, 4.2.5 y 3.1.4 solucionan el problema."
