A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in cronvel terminal-kit up to 2.1.7. Affected is an unknown function. The manipulation leads to inefficient regular expression complexity. Upgrading to version 2.1.8 is able to address this issue. The name of the patch is a2e446cc3927b559d0281683feb9b821e83b758c. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-217620.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terminal-kit | Terminal-kit_project | * | 2.1.8 (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.
