    pacote is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) via the addGitSha function

    CVE-2026-9496 · GHSA-w4pp-8pjf-rmxw

    Affected
    • npm pacote >= 11.2.7, < 21.5.1
    Fixed in
    21.5.1· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    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.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 21.5.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
