How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 nodejs:22/nodejs-libs.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:22/nodejs-libs package and not the nodejs:22/nodejs-libs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The brace-expansion library generates arbitrary strings containing a common prefix and suffix. Prior to versions 5.0.5, 3.0.2, 2.0.3, and 1.1.13, a brace pattern with a zero step value (e.g., {1..2..0}) causes the sequence generation loop to run indefinitely, making the process hang for seconds and allocate heaps of memory. Versions 5.0.5, 3.0.2, 2.0.3, and 1.1.13 fix the issue. As a workaround, sanitize strings passed to expand() to ensure a step value of 0 is not used.
