The JSON loader in Embedchain before 0.1.57 allows a ReDoS (regular expression denial of service) via a long string to json.py.

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
Embedchain Embedchain * 0.1.57 (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.
