All versions of package scss-tokenizer are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the loadAnnotation() function, due to the usage of insecure regex.

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
Scss-tokenizer Scss-tokenizer_project * *
Node-node-sass Ubuntu impish *
Node-node-sass Ubuntu kinetic *
Node-node-sass Ubuntu lunar *
Node-node-sass Ubuntu mantic *

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.
