{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69152","details":"The brace-expansion library generates arbitrary strings containing a common prefix and suffix. Prior to 1.1.18, 2.1.4, 3.0.6, and 5.0.9, expand() does not apply maxLength while constructing comma-alternative intermediate arrays or padded sequences, allowing attacker-controlled input to exhaust memory or block the event loop. The fix for CVE-2026-14257 is bypassed by the vulnerability. This issue is fixed in versions 1.1.18, 2.1.4, 3.0.6, and 5.0.9.","modified":"2026-08-06T00:23:23Z","published":"2026-08-03T17:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-69152"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-69152"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-69152"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/juliangruber/brace-expansion/security/advisories/GHSA-rgw5-rvv9-x895"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/juliangruber/brace-expansion/commit/688a99eeaab02627c2b89ba8ba4821fecfa659cf"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/juliangruber/brace-expansion/commit/139d015104e71433ad52a41d19467c48ecbb2c7d"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/juliangruber/brace-expansion/commit/1e30c930238d7162802d88a94189182def178dac"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/juliangruber/brace-expansion/commit/cb4b9e47cc2ec777c14b2b4492fb431a56f6a031"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/juliangruber/brace-expansion/commit/139d015104e71433ad52a41d19467c48ecbb2c7d"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/juliangruber/brace-expansion/commit/1e30c930238d7162802d88a94189182def178dac"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/juliangruber/brace-expansion/commit/688a99eeaab02627c2b89ba8ba4821fecfa659cf"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/juliangruber/brace-expansion/commit/cb4b9e47cc2ec777c14b2b4492fb431a56f6a031"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node-brace-expansion","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-brace-expansion?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.8-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-brace-expansion","binary_version":"1.1.8-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69152.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-brace-expansion","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-brace-expansion?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.8-1","1.1.11-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.1.11-1","binary_name":"node-brace-expansion"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69152.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-brace-expansion","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-brace-expansion?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.0.0-1","2.0.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.0.1-1","binary_name":"node-brace-expansion"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69152.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-brace-expansion","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-brace-expansion?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.0.1-2","2.0.1+~1.1.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-brace-expansion","binary_version":"2.0.1+~1.1.0-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69152.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-brace-expansion","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-brace-expansion?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.0.1+~1.1.0-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.0.1+~1.1.0-2","binary_name":"node-brace-expansion"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-69152.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.8.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
