Description Praise Ogwuche 2026-09-14 17:18:15 UTC

Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Versions of the package pacote from 11.2.7 are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) via the addGitSha function. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a specially crafted spec.rawSpec value that triggers the function’s regex replacement and string-manipulation logic,  causing excessive CPU consumption and potentially stalling or crashing the process.
