Published Feb 25, 2023 · Updated Mar 11, 2025 · Assigned by snyk

Description

Versions of the package deno before 1.31.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) due to the upgradeWebSocket function, which contains regexes in the form of /s*,s*/, used for splitting the Connection/Upgrade header.
