Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:
- joi is a schema description language and data validator for JavaScript. From 17.1.1 until 17.13.9 and
18.3.1, the Joi.string().email({ multiple: true }) rule uses a separator regular expression whose leading
whitespace quantifier is retried at every position in a long whitespace run that contains no separator,
causing quadratic work during String.prototype.split. The behavior applies to the default separator and
every custom separator. Applications that validate attacker-controlled values with the multiple option and
no effective prior length limit can have the Node.js event loop blocked for seconds by one request,
preventing other work. A .max() rule is not sufficient when abortEarly: false allows the email rule to run
after the maximum-length check fails. This vulnerability is fixed in versions 17.13.9 and 18.3.1.
(CVE-2026-118772)
