The package browserslist from 4.0.0 and before 4.16.5 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) during parsing of queries.
CVE-2021-23364
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.3 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 2.4%, top 17% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
