Dell Wyse ThinOS 2205 contains a Regular Expression Denial of Service Vulnerability in UI. An admin privilege attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to denial-of-service.

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
Wyse_thinos Dell * 9.3.2102 (excluding)

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.
