How Infinite Loop Denial of Service happens in nanoid custom alphabet generation and how to fix it

A high-severity infinite loop vulnerability (CVE-2026-67213) was discovered in nanoid versions before 5.1.6 and 3.3.17, affecting the custom alphabet generation feature. When processing certain malformed alphabet configurations, nanoid would enter an infinite loop, causing a complete denial of service. This vulnerability was fixed by upgrading from nanoid 3.3.16 to 3.3.17 and implementing dependency overrides to ensure the patched version is used throughout the dependency tree.

How an Infinite Loop Vulnerability in nanoid Happens in JavaScript and How to Fix It

A high-severity infinite loop vulnerability (CVE-2026-67213) was discovered in the nanoid package's `customAlphabet` function, affecting versions before 5.1.6. The concord-frontend application depended on nanoid 6.0.1, which contained this flaw. The fix downgrades to nanoid 3.3.17, a patched version that eliminates the infinite loop condition triggered by crafted input to custom alphabet ID generation.
