Red Hat Fixes Nodemon Brace Expansion on RHEL 10
Tech GuruQuick Answer
Check nodejs-nodemon on RHEL 10. Apply RHSA-2026:96236 from the matching entitled repository. Restart nodemon-managed processes, verify the dependency package and test representative file-watching workflows.
Confirm Scope And Apply The Supported Remediation
What to do now: Record distribution nodemon packages, automated development services and externally supplied patterns. RHEL 10: installations of the nodejs-nodemon packages requiring RHSA-2026:96236. Match the full installed RPM, architecture and repository to the vendor product tree; a universal upstream version range is not stated. Apply RHSA-2026:96236 through the entitled Red Hat repositories. The fixed source build is nodejs-nodemon-0:3.1.14-5.el10_2. Install the matching binary packages for the supported stream and architecture. Restart nodemon-managed processes, verify the dependency package and test representative file-watching workflows.

What Changed
Red Hat released RHSA-2026:96236 for RHEL 10, addressing stack exhaustion and uncontrolled recursion in brace-expansion processing. The update provides the distribution packages listed below; keep the Red Hat release and support channel matched during remediation.
What To Validate Now
- Inventory. Record distribution nodemon packages, automated development services and externally supplied patterns.
- Establish applicability. RHEL 10: installations of the nodejs-nodemon packages requiring RHSA-2026:96236. Match the full installed RPM, architecture and repository to the vendor product tree; a universal upstream version range is not stated.
- Remediate. Apply RHSA-2026:96236 through the entitled Red Hat repositories. The fixed source build is nodejs-nodemon-0:3.1.14-5.el10_2. Install the matching binary packages for the supported stream and architecture.
- Validate. Restart nodemon-managed processes, verify the dependency package and test representative file-watching workflows.
- Retain evidence. Preserve asset and owner identifiers, the applicability decision, before-and-after versions, change approval, installation output, validation results, and any exception or rollback record.
Operational Cautions
This advisory covers the distribution nodemon package. Separately inventory independently installed npm dependencies; a distribution update does not establish their status.
Evidence To Retain
- Exact product, release stream, package or application version, enabled feature, environment, and accountable owner.
- UTC timestamps, authority revision, approved change record, installer or package-manager output, and resulting version.
- Relevant logs and monitoring evidence, test results, exceptions, compensating controls, and rollback decisions.
