@adobe/css-tools versions 4.3.1 and earlier are affected by an Improper Input Validation vulnerability that could result in a denial of service while attempting to parse CSS.

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
Css-tools Adobe * 4.3.2 (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.
