What changed
brace-expansion1.x and 2.x overrides to patched releases 1.1.17 and 2.1.3.Why this change was made
Dependabot alert #66 reports that unbounded brace expansion can exhaust process memory. The patched releases bound expansion count and output length so attacker-influenced patterns cannot grow without limit.
Impact
There is no intended application behavior change beyond the security bound. The resolved graph now contains only patched
brace-expansionreleases (1.1.17, 2.1.3, and the existing 5.0.8); the frozen install, repository static gates, and a focused expansion-limit runtime check passed.
