CVE-2026-73089 PUBLISHED

Browserslist: Unbounded memory growth (no cache eviction) via distinct query results, leading to eventual OOM

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 10.08.2026 Published: 11.08.2026 Updated: 11.08.2026

Browserslist is a configuration tool for sharing target browsers and Node.js versions between front-end tools. Prior to 4.28.7, index.js retains every distinct (queries, context) result in cache and every parseQueries() AST in parseCache without a size cap, TTL, or eviction, allowing an attacker who can influence repeated browserslist() query values, including valid since <year>-<month>-<day> queries, to bypass the caller-controlled BROWSERSLIST_DISABLE_CACHE mitigation and cause linear memory growth followed by an out-of-memory process crash. This issue is fixed in version 4.28.7.
