Versions of the package cookiejar before 2.1.4 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the Cookie.parse function, which uses an insecure regular expression.
Weakness
The product uses a regular expression with a worst-case computational complexity that is inefficient and possibly exponential.
