CVE-2026-59887 Jul 08, 15:58 npm HIGH POC PATCH GHSA This Week

Denial of service in linkify-it before 5.0.2 allows remote attackers to exhaust CPU by submitting crafted text containing many mailto: occurrences, each triggering the src_email_name email-name validator in lib/re.mjs to rescan the remaining input, yielding O(n^2) complexity. Any application that runs untrusted user text through linkify-it's .test() or .match() is affected; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not in CISA KEV, but the low complexity of the trigger makes availability disruption straightforward.
