Regular Expression Denial of Service in papaparse
CVE-2020-36649 · GHSA-qvjc-g5vr-mfgr
- Affected
- npm papaparse < 5.2.0
- Fixed in
- 5.2.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Versions of papaparse prior to 5.2.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDos). The parse function contains a malformed regular expression that takes exponentially longer to process non-numerical inputs. This allows attackers to stall systems and lead to Denial of Service. Recommendation Upgrade to version 5.2.0 or later.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 5.2.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
