CWE-1333

axios is vulnerable to Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

The glob-parent package before 6.0.1 for Node.js allows ReDoS (regular expression denial of service) attacks against the enclosure regular expression.

mechanize, a library for automatically interacting with HTTP web servers, contains a regular expression that is vulnerable to regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) prior to version 0.4.6. If a web server responds in a malicious way, then mechanize could crash. Version 0.4.6 has a patch for the issue.

MooTools is a collection of JavaScript utilities for JavaScript developers. All known versions include a CSS selector parser that is vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). An attack requires that an attacker can inject a string into a CSS selector at runtime, which is quite common with e.g. jQuery CSS selectors. No patches are available for this issue.

uap-core in an open-source npm package which contains the core of BrowserScope’s original user agent string parser. In uap-core before version 0.11.0, some regexes are vulnerable to regular expression denial of service (REDoS) due to overlapping capture groups. This allows remote attackers to overload a server by setting the User-Agent header in an HTTP(S) request to maliciously crafted long strings. This is fixed in version 0.11.0. Downstream packages such as uap-python, uap-ruby etc which depend upon uap-core follow different version schemes.

A vulnerability has been found in Sisimai up to 4.25.14p11 and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects the function to_plain of the file lib/sisimai/string.rb. The manipulation leads to inefficient regular expression complexity. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 4.25.14p12 is able to address this issue. The name of the patch is 51fe2e6521c9c02b421b383943dc9e4bbbe65d4e. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-218452.
