CVE-2026-112366 PUBLISHED

Picomatch through 4.0.7 ReDoS via single-branch repeated extglob patterns

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 19.10.2026 Published: 19.10.2026 Updated: 19.10.2026

Picomatch through 4.0.7 contains a regular expression denial of service vulnerability that allows attackers to block the event loop by supplying single-branch repeated extglob patterns. Attackers can provide globs like +() or +(a), which analyzeRepeatedExtglob in lib/parse.js skips, causing exponential backtracking against short crafted strings and denying service to Node.js applications.
