fix(deps): raise the brace-expansion override floor to 5.0.9 - #242
Merged
Conversation
GHSA-rgw5-rvv9-x895 is the third brace-expansion DoS advisory: unbounded intermediate arrays, which bypasses the CVE-2026-14257 mitigation. It is fixed in 5.0.9 and flags everything below that, including the 5.0.8 the existing override pinned to. The override was written as a range around the previous report (>=3.0.0 <5.0.8), so it read as resolved while still allowing a flagged version to install. Rewrite it as a plain floor against the newest advisory instead, which is the shape that survives the next round. The tree had both 5.0.8 and 5.0.9 installed, pulled in by minimatch 10.2.5 and 10.2.6. The lockfile change is otherwise removals: 5.0.9 is now the single copy. Same major, so no repeat of the callable-export break that made the jump to 5.x awkward. Verified anyway, since the consumers sit under exceljs at runtime: an xlsx write/read roundtrip returns brace literals and umlauts unchanged.

Closes the open high alert GHSA-rgw5-rvv9-x895 (brace-expansion DoS via unbounded intermediate arrays, bypassing the CVE-2026-14257 mitigation, first patched in 5.0.9).
What was wrong with the existing override
It was written as a range around the previous advisory, so it looked settled while the new one flags everything below 5.0.9, 5.0.8 included. The tree actually carried two copies, 5.0.8 and 5.0.9, pulled in by minimatch 10.2.5 and 10.2.6 respectively.
Rewriting it as a plain floor against the newest advisory collapses that to a single 5.0.9. The rest of the lockfile diff is removals.
The comment above it now spells out why the bound has that shape, since this is the third time this package has come around and the second time the floor was the thing that quietly aged out.
Verification
Same major, so none of the callable-export trouble that made the jump to 5.x awkward. Checked anyway, because these consumers sit under exceljs at runtime rather than in tooling: an xlsx write and read-back returns brace literals and umlauts unchanged (
