CVE-2024-4068: Uncontrolled resource consumption in braces

The NPM package braces 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.

Root Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from the parse function's loop structure in lib/parse.js. Key evidence includes:

The commit diff shows critical changes to the stack processing loop that previously caused unbounded memory growth
The removed validate-input.js and MAX_SYMBOLS checks indicate insufficient input validation
Multiple sources explicitly reference line 308 in parse.js (pre-patch) as the vulnerable loop
The patch focused on simplifying the loop structure and reducing default MAX_LENGTH to prevent exploitation
CWE-1050 (Excessive Platform Resource Consumption within a Loop) directly maps to this recursive block processing pattern
