The package parse-link-header before 2.0.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the checkHeader function.
The product uses a regular expression with an inefficient, possibly exponential worst-case computational complexity that consumes excessive CPU cycles.
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parse-link-header | Parse-link-header_project | * | 2.0.0 (excluding) |
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.
