Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | path-to-regexp | < 0.1.12 | 0.1.12 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The regular expression that is vulnerable to backtracking can be generated in versions before 0.1.12 of `path-to-regexp`, originally reported in CVE-2024-45296
### Patches
Upgrade to 0.1.12.
### Workarounds
Avoid using two parameters within a single path segment, when the separator is not `.` (e.g. no `/:a-:b`). Alternatively, you can define the regex used for both parameters and ensure they do not overlap to allow backtracking.
