A vulnerability was found in Segmentio is-url up to 1.2.2. It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file index.js. The manipulation leads to inefficient regular expression complexity. The attack may be launched remotely. Upgrading to version 1.2.3 is able to address this issue. The patch is identified as 149550935c63a98c11f27f694a7c4a9479e53794. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. VDB-220058 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.

Weakness

The product uses a regular expression with an inefficient, possibly exponential worst-case computational complexity that consumes excessive CPU cycles.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Is-url Segment * 1.2.2 (including)

Extended Description

	  Attackers can create crafted inputs that
	  intentionally cause the regular expression to use
	  excessive backtracking in a way that causes the CPU
	  consumption to spike.
