{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-118764","details":"minimatch is a minimal matching utility for converting glob expressions into JavaScript RegExp objects. Prior to 11.0.1, src/index.ts implements firstPhasePreProcess() so that, at optimizationLevel 2 or higher, it repeatedly expands attacker-controlled **/.. pattern segments inside a fixpoint loop, allowing generated globParts entries to be processed and expanded again. secondPhasePreProcess() then compares the expanded entries pairwise, so a short malicious glob can cause excessive CPU and memory consumption during pattern compilation. This issue is fixed in version 11.0.1.","modified":"2026-11-03T21:19:19.633827499Z","published":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-118764"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-118764"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-118764"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch/commit/77a0f5c4b80bdc641c3c930a1d9edf5ad2db57f8"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch/releases/tag/v11.0.1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch/security/advisories/GHSA-g3hv-75wg-m249"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node-minimatch","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-minimatch?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy%2Ftrusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.2.11-1","0.2.12-1","0.2.12-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.2.12-1ubuntu0.1~esm2","binary_name":"node-minimatch"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-118764.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-minimatch","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-minimatch?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.0.0-1","1.0.0-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.0.0-1ubuntu0.1~esm2","binary_name":"node-minimatch"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-118764.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-minimatch","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-minimatch?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.0.4-1","3.0.4-3","3.0.4-3+deb10u1build0.18.04.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"3.0.4-3+deb10u1build0.18.04.1","binary_name":"node-minimatch"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-118764.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-minimatch","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-minimatch?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.0.4-3","3.0.4-4","3.0.4-4ubuntu0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-minimatch","binary_version":"3.0.4-4ubuntu0.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-118764.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-minimatch","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-minimatch?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.0.4+~3.0.3-1","3.0.4+~3.0.5-1","3.1.1+~3.0.5-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-minimatch","binary_version":"3.1.1+~3.0.5-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-118764.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-minimatch","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-minimatch?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.1.1+~5.1.2-1","9.0.3-4build5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-minimatch","binary_version":"9.0.3-4build5"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-118764.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-minimatch","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-minimatch?arch=source&distro=stonking"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["9.0.3-6","9.0.7-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"9.0.7-1","binary_name":"node-minimatch"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-118764.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-minimatch","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-minimatch?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["9.0.3-6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"9.0.3-6","binary_name":"node-minimatch"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-118764.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
