Much thanks to CPANSec for reporting the issue, and for providing a prototype fix. > CVE-2026-56017: > > JavaScript::Minifier::XS: NULL-pointer dereference (SIGSEGV) in regex/division disambiguator on attacker-supplied JS > > Trigger: the public minify() API on attacker-supplied JavaScript as small as a single / byte (also /x, /b/c, /re/). Any deployment that minifies untrusted or third-party JS is exposed. > > Impact: process crash -> denial of service.
