Vulnerabilities 3
-
High 7.5
Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)
ssri 5.2.2-8.0.0, fixed in 8.0.1, processes SRIs using a regular expression which is vulnerable to a denial of service. Malicious SRIs could take an extremely long time to process, leading to denial of service. This issue only affects consumers using the stri…
