path-to-regexp vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service via multiple wildcards
Résumé
path-to-regexp vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service via multiple wildcards
Description d'origine
La description telle que publiée par la source (souvent en anglais).
Impact:
When using multiple wildcards, combined with at least one parameter, a regular expression can be generated that is vulnerable to ReDoS. This backtracking vulnerability requires the second wildcard to be somewhere other than the end of the path.
Unsafe examples:
/*foo-*bar-:baz
/*a-:b-*c-:d
/x/*a-:b/*c/y
Safe examples:
/*foo-:bar
/*foo-:bar-*baz
Patches:
Upgrade to version 8.4.0.
Workarounds:
If you are using multiple wildcard parameters, you can check the regex output with a tool such as https://makenowjust-labs.github.io/recheck/playground/ to confirm whether a path is vulnerable.
