ansi-regex is vulnerable to Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ansi-regex | Ansi-regex_project | 4.0.0 (including) | 4.1.1 (excluding) |
| Ansi-regex | Ansi-regex_project | 3.0.0 (including) | 3.0.0 (including) |
| Ansi-regex | Ansi-regex_project | 5.0.0 (including) | 5.0.0 (including) |
| Ansi-regex | Ansi-regex_project | 6.0.0 (including) | 6.0.0 (including) |
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.
