CVE-2026-33228

A super light and fast circular JSON parser.

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

flatted is a circular JSON parser. Prior to version 3.4.2, the parse() function in flatted can use attacker-controlled string values from the parsed JSON as direct array index keys, without validating that they are numeric. Since the internal input buffer is a JavaScript Array, accessing it with the key "proto" returns Array.prototype via the inherited getter. This object is then treated as a legitimate parsed value and assigned as a property of the output object, effectively leaking a live reference to Array.prototype to the consumer. Any code that subsequently writes to that property will pollute the global prototype. This issue has been patched in version 3.4.2.
Mend Note: The description of this vulnerability differs from MITRE.

CVE-2026-13149

Vulnerable Library - brace-expansion-1.1.12.tgz

Brace expansion as known from sh/bash

• eslint-9.39.4.tgz (Root Library)
  • minimatch-3.1.5.tgz
    • ❌ brace-expansion-1.1.12.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

brace-expansion through 5.0.6 is vulnerable to denial of service. The expand() function exhibits exponential-time complexity in the number of consecutive non-expanding '{}' brace groups. An attacker who passes a crafted string to expand(), directly or transitively, can cause significant CPU consumption and event-loop blocking. The max option does not mitigate this, as it bounds the output size rather than the recursion work.

CVE-2026-33750

Vulnerable Library - brace-expansion-1.1.12.tgz

Brace expansion as known from sh/bash

Path to dependency file: /package.json

Path to vulnerable library: /package.json

Dependency Hierarchy:

• eslint-9.39.4.tgz (Root Library)
  • minimatch-3.1.5.tgz
    • ❌ brace-expansion-1.1.12.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

The brace-expansion library generates arbitrary strings containing a common prefix and suffix. Prior to versions 5.0.5, 3.0.2, 2.0.3, and 1.1.13, a brace pattern with a zero step value (e.g., "{1..2..0}") causes the sequence generation loop to run indefinitely, making the process hang for seconds and allocate heaps of memory. Versions 5.0.5, 3.0.2, 2.0.3, and 1.1.13 fix the issue. As a workaround, sanitize strings passed to "expand()" to ensure a step value of "0" is not used.

CVE-2026-53550

Vulnerable Library - js-yaml-4.1.1.tgz

YAML 1.2 parser and serializer

Path to vulnerable library: /package.json

Dependency Hierarchy:

• eslint-9.39.4.tgz (Root Library)
  • eslintrc-3.3.5.tgz
    • ❌ js-yaml-4.1.1.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

js-yaml is a JavaScript YAML parser and dumper. Prior to 4.2.0 and 3.15.0, a crafted YAML document can trigger algorithmic CPU exhaustion in js-yaml merge-key processing (<<) by repeating the same alias many times in a merge sequence. This causes quadratic parse-time behavior relative to input size and can block a Node.js worker/event loop for seconds with a relatively small payload (tens of KB), resulting in denial of service. The issue is in merge handling inside lib/loader.js. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.0 and 3.15.0.
