Zod in versions 3.21.0 up to and including 3.22.3 allows an attacker to perform a denial of service while validating emails.

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
Zod Zod 3.22.2 (including) 3.22.2 (including)

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.
