Important: nodejs-nodemon security update

Published Nov 9, 2026 · Updated Nov 10, 2026

Summary

Simple monitor script for use during development of a node.js app. For use during development of a node.js based application. nodemon will watch the files in the directory in which nodemon was started, and if any files change, nodemon will automatically restart your node application. nodemon does not require any changes to your code or method of development. nodemon simply wraps your node application and keeps an eye on any files that have changed. Remember that nodemon is a replacement wrapper for node, think of it as replacing the word "node" on the command line when you run your script.

* brace-expansion: brace-expansion: Denial of Service via stack exhaustion from crafted brace patterns (CVE-2026-102276)

    brace-expansion: DoS via uncontrolled recursion in parseCommaParts causing stack exhaustion

    The brace-expansion library generates arbitrary strings containing a common prefix and suffix. Prior to 1.1.19, 2.1.5, 3.0.7, and 5.0.10, crafted brace patterns can exhaust the native stack in parseCommaParts because parseCommaParts recursively processes the …

    brace-expansion: DoS via uncontrolled recursion on nested brace groups causing stack exhaustion

    The brace-expansion library generates arbitrary strings containing a common prefix and suffix. Prior to 1.1.20, 2.1.6, 3.0.8, and 5.0.11, deeply nested brace groups cause expand_() to recurse once per nesting level at comma-member and single-set expansion sit…
