NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:22/nodejs-packaging-bundler package and not the nodejs:22/nodejs-packaging-bundler package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Versions of the package pacote from 11.2.7 and before 21.5.1 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.
