brace-expansion override ^5.0.8 -> ^5.0.9 (GHSA-rgw5-rvv9-x895, DoS).
5.0.8's maxLength cap was applied in combine(), where output is merged, but
not to the two arrays built before it runs: comma alternatives each got their
own full allowance and were concatenated with no running total, and padded
sequences never consulted maxLength at all. So a ~25 KB pattern still OOMs the
process -- fatally, past the reach of try/catch -- and a ~400 KB one blocks the
event loop for over two minutes. 5.0.9 bounds both as they are built.
Dev-only and transitive here: it reaches us as eslint -> minimatch@5 ->
brace-expansion, the only input it sees is our own lint globs, and it is not in
the shipped bundle. The ci.yml audit gate runs --omit=dev, so this never would
have failed CI; it surfaced through Dependabot.
The overrides floor is bumped alongside the lockfile so a clean install can't
resolve back to the vulnerable 5.0.8.
