If you are using v2 of Shescape it is recommended to upgrade as this version reaches end-of-life status on 2026-09-28, follow the [migration guide] to upgrade to v3.\n\nNo patches will be released for version of Shescape lower than v2.0.0.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nAlternatively, users of Shescape can 1) refrain from using Zsh, 2) ensure the `EXTENDED_GLOB` option is disabled, 3) remove all instances of `^`, `#`, and `~` from untrusted inputs.\n\n### For more information\n\n- Comment on Pull Request [#2651] for v2 and [#2649] for v3\n- Comment on commit [b4b34c3] for v2 and [43d70b5] for v3\n- Open an issue at <https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/issues> (New issue > Question)","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-07-24T22:33:38+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-08-27T05:15:08.0865382+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"shescape","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"0"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"2.1.14"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null},{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"shescape","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"3.0.0"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"3.0.1"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS_V4","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":null,"severity":null},{"system":"Publisher rating","vector":null,"score":null,"severity":"MODERATE"}],"references":["https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/security/advisories/GHSA-6v4m-fw66-8r4x","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/pull/2649","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/pull/2651","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/commit/43d70b59d09bbe5c3fd02ef08b3a123e977ed9de","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/commit/b4b34c394e7f9da2775bb75381066b9a228c425f","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/blob/dea8893a5877893d8d4923dbf253080e08899e6d/docs/migration.md","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/releases/tag/v2.1.14","https://github.com/ericcornelissen/shescape/releases/tag/v3.0.1"],"sourceUrl":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-6v4m-fw66-8r4x","license":"GitHub Advisory Database · CC-BY-4.0","key":"osv:GHSA-6v4m-fw66-8r4x","identifiers":["GHSA-6v4m-fw66-8r4x","CVE-2026-73412"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
