It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-2060 advisory.

    brace-expansion through 5.0.6 is vulnerable to denial of service. The expand() function exhibits     exponential-time complexity in the number of consecutive non-expanding '{}' brace groups. An attacker who     passes a crafted string to expand(), directly or transitively, can cause significant CPU consumption and     event-loop blocking. The max option does not mitigate this, as it bounds the output size rather than the     recursion work. (CVE-2026-13149)

    undici does not validate the type property of a duck-typed blob-like request body before using it as the     Content-Type header on the HTTP/1.1 dispatcher. In undici before 6.28.0, from 7.0.0 up to before 7.29.0,     and from 8.0.0 up to before 8.9.0, an application that passes a hand-rolled blob-like body (via request,     stream, pipeline, or dispatch) whose type is derived from untrusted input allows an attacker to inject     CRLF sequences and append arbitrary HTTP headers, potentially smuggling a second request past the     upstream. Native Blob objects are safe because their constructor strips CRLF from the type, and fetch is     unaffected because it validates headers, but ecosystem libraries that build duck-typed blob shapes from     user input can reach the vulnerable path. This is the same defect class as CVE-2022-35948 and     CVE-2026-1527, on a header sink that the earlier fixes did not cover. The issue is fixed in undici 6.28.0,     7.29.0, and 8.9.0. (CVE-2026-15157)

    undici's retry interceptor can deliver a response whose body length does not match the Content-Length     header exposed to the application after a retry or resume of a partial response. In undici before 6.28.0,     from 7.0.0 up to before 7.29.0, and from 8.0.0 up to before 8.9.0, a malicious or faulty upstream can     return a partial response with a mismatched framing header, close the socket early, and have the retry     interceptor assemble a body of a different length while the original Content-Length stays attached.
    Applications that use the retry interceptor and forward upstream headers and bodies downstream, such as     proxies or gateways, may then emit an invalid HTTP response with a stale Content-Length, leading to     downstream response desynchronization, connection hangs, or response corruption. Exploitation requires the     retry interceptor enabled, an upstream returning a mismatched partial response, and a downstream forwarder     that does not remove or recalculate Content-Length. The issue is fixed in undici 6.28.0, 7.29.0, and     8.9.0. (CVE-2026-16728)

    undici's setCookie function does not fully sanitize cookie attributes. In undici before 6.28.0, from 7.0.0     up to before 7.29.0, and from 8.0.0 up to before 8.9.0, a domain value is not checked for semicolons and     entries in the unparsed array are not sanitized, so attacker-influenced input can inject additional cookie     attributes. For example, a domain value containing a semicolon can append attributes such as SameSite, and     an unparsed entry can inject attributes such as HttpOnly, without the caller setting them. Applications     that pass user-controlled input to these fields, such as multi-tenant or reverse-proxy servers that scope     session cookies to a tenant-supplied domain, can have SameSite CSRF protections bypassed, or the Secure,     HttpOnly, and SameSite attributes forced, stripped, or overridden. The issue is fixed in undici 6.28.0,     7.29.0, and 8.9.0. (CVE-2026-16729)

    A NULL pointer dereference in the SQLite Session Extension in SQLite 3.53.1 and SQLite trunk builds before     check-in e807d4e3798efd53 allows an attacker who can supply a malformed changeset blob to cause a denial     of service. The issue occurs when sqlite3changeset_apply_v3() applies a corrupt changeset and reaches     sqlite3_value_type() with a NULL sqlite3_value pointer. (CVE-2026-50812)

    HTTP/2 retained headers can bypass maxSessionMemory limits (CVE-2026-56846)

    A flaw in Node.js Permission Model enforcement allows `trace_events.createTracing().enable()` Writes Trace     Logs Outside `--allow-fs-write`.This can lead to confidentiality impact or bypass of the intended security     boundary under affected configurations.This vulnerability affects Node.js **22.x**, **24.x**, and
    **26.x**. (CVE-2026-56847)

    A flaw in Node.js HTTP/2 handling allows nghttp2_session_mem_send() to be called re-entrantly while     nghttp2_session_mem_recv() is executing, resulting in a heap-use-after-free. (CVE-2026-56848)

    A flaw in Node.js HTTPS Agent connection reuse can cause PFX object-array key collisions, allowing mutual     TLS (mTLS) client identities to be reused across requests configured with different client     certificates.This vulnerability affects Node.js **26.x**, **24.x**, and **22.x**. (CVE-2026-56850)

    A flaw in Node.js Permission Model enforcement allows process.report writes (and overwrites) files outside
    --allow-fs-write paths.

    This can lead to confidentiality impact or bypass of the intended security boundary under affected     configurations. (CVE-2026-58039)

    An incomplete fix has been identified in Node.js: HTTPS Agent TLS session reuse skips hostname     verification across identity policies (incomplete fix of CVE-2026-48934).This vulnerability affects     Node.js **22.x**, **24.x**, and **26.x**. (CVE-2026-58040)

    A flaw in Node.js can cause dns.resolveAny() to abort the process when a DNS response contains more than     256 A records.

    Repeated triggering of this condition can lead to denial of service. (CVE-2026-58042)

    A flaw in Node.js Permission Model enforcement can over-grant filesystem access across radix-tree prefix     boundaries.Under `--permission`, an attacker who is granted access to one path can abuse boundary handling     to read from or write to paths outside the intended filesystem allowlist.This vulnerability affects     Node.js **main**, **22.x**, **24.x**, and **26.x**. (CVE-2026-58043)

    node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.19, node-tar does not enforce     hard upper bounds on total decompressed data, entry counts, or decompression ratio in extraction and     parsing paths such as src/extract.ts, allowing a small crafted gzip bomb to exhaust disk space and CPU.
    This issue is fixed in version 7.5.19. (CVE-2026-59873)

    node-tar is a tar archive manipulation library for Node.js. Prior to 7.5.18, tar.replace accepts a     checksum-valid tar header with a negative base-256 encoded entry size, causing the archive scanner to make     no progress while repeatedly parsing the same header. This issue is fixed in version 7.5.18.
    (CVE-2026-59874)

    CPU-exhaustion denial of service via unbounded DNS name compression pointer chains (CVE-2026-69184)

    Versions of the package pacote from 11.2.7 are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) via the addGitSha     function. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a specially crafted spec.rawSpec value     that triggers the function's regex replacement and string-manipulation logic,  causing excessive CPU     consumption and potentially stalling or crashing the process. (CVE-2026-9496)
