SCA: security update for decode-uri-component (GHSA-qr28-fpjm-wq7f)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477913
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- decode-uri-component provides a more robust alternative to decodeURIComponent. Prior to 0.5.1,
decodeUriComponent in index.js falls back to customDecodeURIComponent after native decoding throws, and
the fallback collects every distinct percent-encoded run before performing a full-string regular-
expression replacement for each entry. Malformed input containing many distinct runs can therefore make
both the number of replacements and the scanned input length grow together, causing quadratic CPU
consumption and blocking the Node.js event loop; request-body inputs can reach the demonstrated size,
while ordinary URL header limits reduce the practical delay. This issue is fixed in version 0.5.1.
(CVE-2026-118664)
Solution
Update the decode-uri-component library and its related packages to version 0.5.1 or later.See Also
