Description

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.

Affected configurations

• juliangruber brace-expansion (< 1.1.13) • juliangruber brace-expansion (>= 2.0.0 < 2.0.3) • juliangruber brace-expansion (>= 3.0.0 < 3.0.2) • juliangruber brace-expansion (>= 5.0.0 < 5.0.5)
