Picomatch · Picomatch · CVE-2026-33671
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Picomatch versions prior to 4.0.4 Picomatch versions prior to 3.0.2 Picomatch versions prior to 2.3.2 **Description** Picomatch, a glob matcher written in JavaScript, is susceptible to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) when processing crafted extglob patterns. Specific patterns utilizing extglob quantifiers like `+()` and `*()`, particularly when combined with overlapping alternatives or nested extglobs, can be compiled into regular expressions that exhibit catastrophic backtracking on non-matching input. Applications allowing untrusted users to supply glob patterns to `picomatch` for compilation or matching are at risk. An attacker can potentially cause excessive CPU consumption and disrupt the Node.js event loop, leading to a denial of service. Applications using only trusted, developer-controlled glob patterns are less likely to be affected. **Recommendations** Versions prior to 4.0.4: Upgrade to version 4.0.4 or later. Versions prior to 3.0.2: Upgrade to version 3.0.2 or later. Versions prior to 2.3.2: Upgrade to version 2.3.2 or later. If upgrading is not immediately possible, avoid passing untrusted glob patterns to `picomatch`. Disable extglob support for untrusted patterns by using `noextglob: true`. Reject or sanitize patterns containing nested extglobs or extglob quantifiers such as `+()` and `*()`. Enforce strict allowlists for accepted pattern syntax. Run matching in an isolated worker or separate process with time and resource limits. Apply application-level request throttling and input validation for any endpoint that accepts glob patterns.
