CVE-2026-67213

nanoid before 5.1.6 Infinite Loop via Zero Size in customAlphabet and customRandom

Published Jul 29, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.2 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
nanoid (Nano ID) before 5.1.6 contains an infinite loop in the customAlphabet and customRandom functions. When these functions are configured with a size of 0, the internal generation loop never satisfies its exit condition and spins indefinitely, hanging the calling thread. An application that passes an unvalidated, attacker-controlled size of 0 to these functions is exposed to a denial-of-service condition.
