There is no fixed version for braces.
Overview
braces is a Bash-like brace expansion, implemented in JavaScript.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion in the recursive AST walkers, which lack depth guards. An attacker can supply deeply nested brace patterns that stay within the character limit to exhaust the call stack and crash the Node.js process with an uncaught RangeError.
