Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in cross-spawn
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | cross-spawn | >= 7.0.0, < 7.0.5 | 7.0.5 |
| npm | cross-spawn | < 6.0.6 | 6.0.6 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
Versions of the package cross-spawn before 7.0.5 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) due to improper input sanitization. An attacker can increase the CPU usage and crash the program by crafting a very large and well crafted string.
