Summary
Updates
brace-expansionfrom^5.0.8to^5.0.9and regenerates the lockfile.Why
5.0.9fixes a high-severity DoS (GHSA-rgw5-rvv9-x895 / CVE-2026-69152): themaxLengthmitigation added in5.0.8only bounded the output accumulator, not the intermediate arrays feeding it. A ~25 KB crafted brace pattern can still crash the Node process with an uncatchable OOM, and a ~400 KB padded-sequence input can stall the event loop for minutes. minimatch passes user-controlled patterns toexpand(), so this affects any application that globs untrusted input.Changes
