ETK-2026-4199Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
brace-expansion can spend excessive CPU time processing specially formed untrusted brace patterns, blocking a Node.js event loop. Applications are affected when they expand attacker-supplied patterns directly or through minimatch or glob with brace expansion enabled.
mitigation
Upgrade brace-expansion to 5.0.13, 3.0.10, 2.1.8, 1.1.22 or later.
fixed in 5.0.13, 3.0.10, 2.1.8, 1.1.22
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
