DescriptionCVE.org

Browserslist is a configuration tool for sharing target browsers and Node.js versions between front-end tools. Prior to 4.28.7, index.js retains every distinct (queries, context) result in cache and every parseQueries() AST in parseCache without a size cap, TTL, or eviction, allowing an attacker who can influence repeated browserslist() query values, including valid since <year>-<month>-<day> queries, to bypass the caller-controlled BROWSERSLIST_DISABLE_CACHE mitigation and cause linear memory growth followed by an out-of-memory process crash. This issue is fixed in version 4.28.7.

AnalysisAI

Unbounded in-memory caches in Browserslist prior to 4.28.7 allow unauthenticated remote denial-of-service via Node.js out-of-memory crash when an attacker can influence repeated query values passed to browserslist() at runtime. Both the query-result cache and the parseQuery AST cache grew as plain JavaScript objects with no size cap, TTL, or eviction - the since <year>-<month>-<day> syntax provides a practically infinite key space ideal for flooding. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that an attacker can supply or influence the query string arguments passed to the browserslist() function within a running Node.js process at runtime - for example, through an HTTP API parameter, a WebSocket message, or any other externally-reachable code path that forwards input into browserslist() without sanitization. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD-assigned CVSS of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/A:H) reflects the maximum theoretical risk surface and overstates real-world exploitability for most deployments. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who discovers an HTTP API endpoint that accepts browser targeting parameters and passes them to browserslist() at runtime sends thousands of requests with unique `since 1990-01-<incrementing-day>` query strings, each generating a distinct cache key that causes both the result cache and parseCache to grow. With no eviction boundary in versions before 4.28.7, Node.js heap grows linearly with each unique query until the process is terminated by the operating system or Node.js runtime with an out-of-memory error, resulting in service unavailability. …
Remediation Upgrade Browserslist to version 4.28.7 or later - this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by commit f2931a3ff2a3a31abf84ef01a7400b270aad6405 and the release tag at https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist/releases/tag/4.28.7. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
