Hi,

The following vulnerabilities were published for node-re2.

CVE-2026-71430[0]:
| node-re2 provides RE2 regular expression bindings for Node.js. Prior
| to version 1.25.1, the WrappedRE2::Replace function built its
| replacement result and passed it to V8 using ToLocalChecked without
| checking for the empty MaybeLocal that V8 returns when the resulting
| string or buffer exceeds V8's maximum string length. When a global
| replace uses an output amplifying replacement template, the result
| can grow quadratically with the input size, and once the result
| exceeds V8's maximum string length, the unchecked ToLocalChecked
| call causes a fatal, uncatchable process abort instead of a
| catchable exception. This issue is fixed in version 1.25.1.


CVE-2026-71498[1]:
| node-re2 provides RE2 regular expression bindings for Node.js. Prior
| to version 1.26.1, passing a Buffer whose final bytes form a
| truncated (incomplete) multi-byte UTF-8 sequence could cause the
| native binding to read past the end of the allocated buffer while
| attempting to decode the final, incomplete code point. This could
| result in an out-of-bounds read and potential disclosure of adjacent
| memory contents. This issue is fixed in version 1.26.1.
