NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream renovate package and not the renovate package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

nanoid (Nano ID) before 5.1.6 contains an infinite loop in the customAlphabet and customRandom functions. When these functions are configured with a size of 0, the internal generation loop never satisfies its exit condition and spins indefinitely, hanging the calling thread. An application that passes an unvalidated, attacker-controlled size of 0 to these functions is exposed to a denial-of-service condition.
