minimatch is a minimal matching utility for converting glob expressions into JavaScript RegExp objects. Prior to version 10.2.3, 9.0.7, 8.0.6, 7.4.8, 6.2.2, 5.1.8, 4.2.5, and 3.1.4, nested
*()extglobs produce regexps with nested unbounded quantifiers (e.g.(?:(?:a|b)*)*), which exhibit catastrophic backtracking in V8. With a 12-byte pattern*(*(*(a|b)))and an 18-byte non-matching input,minimatch()stalls for over 7 seconds. Adding a single nesting level or a few input characters pushes this to minutes. This is the most severe finding: it is triggered by the defaultminimatch()API with no special options, and the minimum viable pattern is only 12 bytes. The same issue affects+()extglobs equally. Versions 10.2.3, 9.0.7, 8.0.6, 7.4.8, 6.2.2, 5.1.8, 4.2.5, and 3.1.4 fix the issue. - References
