NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream opensearch-dashboards-3 package and not the opensearch-dashboards-3 package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

nanoid (Nano ID) before 3.3.16 and 5.1.16 contains an infinite loop in the customAlphabet and nanoid functions of its non-secure module (nanoid/non-secure). When these functions are given a negative size, the loop counter is decremented from a negative value and never reaches its termination condition, spinning indefinitely and hanging the calling thread. An application that passes an unvalidated, attacker-controlled negative size to these functions is exposed to a denial-of-service condition.
