CVE-2024-4068
### Vulnerable Library - braces-3.0.2.tgzBash-like brace expansion, implemented in JavaScript. Safer than other brace expansion libs, with complete support for the Bash 4.3 braces specification, without sacrificing speed.

Dependency Hierarchy: - ts-node-dev-1.1.8.tgz (Root Library) - chokidar-3.5.1.tgz - :x: **braces-3.0.2.tgz** (Vulnerable Library)
Found in HEAD commit: 898e55dce59f24513206f629f1dd595ca468b56f
Found in base branch: master
### Vulnerability DetailsThe NPM package `braces`, versions prior to 3.0.3, fails to limit the number of characters it can handle, which could lead to Memory Exhaustion. In `lib/parse.js,` if a malicious user sends "imbalanced braces" as input, the parsing will enter a loop, which will cause the program to start allocating heap memory without freeing it at any moment of the loop. Eventually, the JavaScript heap limit is reached, and the program will crash. Mend Note: After conducting a further research, it was concluded that CVE-2024-4068 does not contain a high security risk that reflects the NVD score, but should be kept for users' awareness. Users of braces should follow the fix recommendation as noted.
