CVE-2026-118773: Glob: AbortSignal cancellation bypass allows post-timeout filesystem traversal
In glob 13.0.6, an aborted async walk rejects or emits an error but continues recursively reading directories in the background.
The root cause is that abort branches in src/walker.ts call cb() without returning. As a result, callers that rely on signal or AbortSignal.timeout() to bound glob traversal cost can still incur filesystem I/O and CPU work after the request has already been rejected.
