Denial of service condition in M-Files Server in versions before 24.4.13592.4 and after 23.11 (excluding 24.2 LTS) allows unauthenticated user to consume computing resources.

Weakness

The product uses a regular expression with an inefficient, possibly exponential worst-case computational complexity that consumes excessive CPU cycles.

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.
