Prior to versions 3.3.12 and 5.1.11, the nanoid(size) function in index.js and index.cjs coerces the user-influenced size parameter to a signed 32-bit integer, allowing a value of 2147483648 to become -2147483648 and corrupt the process-wide CSPRNG poolOffset in fillPool(), which causes subsequent session tokens, CSRF tokens, API keys, and unique identifiers to become the deterministic string \"uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu\" until the process restarts. This issue is fixed in versions 3.3.12 and 5.1.11.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-73086)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `nanoid < 3.3.12`\n- `nanoid >= 4.0.0, < 5.1.11`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `nanoid 3.3.12`\n- `nanoid 5.1.11`\n\nSource: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xwg4-73v4-xw9w","depth":"twilight","depthScore":41,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":40.7,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
