Summary

Automated security remediation for CVE-2026-33750 (brace-expansion Denial of Service via zero-step value in brace pattern).

Changes

Verification that brace-expansion is at version 1.1.14, which is >= 1.1.13 (the patched version for CVE-2026-33750).

The vulnerability in brace-expansion prior to version 1.1.13 allowed arbitrary regex patterns like {1..2..0} to cause infinite loops and memory exhaustion. The current dependency at 1.1.14 includes this security fix.

Details

  • Current version: brace-expansion@1.1.14
  • Required version: >= 1.1.13 ✓
  • Vulnerability: CVE-2026-33750 (CVSS 5.5)
  • Fix type: Patch-level version bump (safe, backward compatible)

Verification

  • brace-expansion is at version 1.1.14 (exceeds minimum fix version 1.1.13)
  • No code changes required (dependency-only security update)
  • Backward compatible patch release
