CVE-2017-16021 (GCVE-0-2017-16021)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-06-04 19:00 – Updated: 2024-09-17 01:46

Summary

uri-js is a module that tries to fully implement RFC 3986. One of these features is validating whether or not a supplied URL is valid or not. To do this, uri-js uses a regular expression, This regular expression is vulnerable to redos. This causes the program to hang and the CPU to idle at 100% usage while uri-js is trying to validate if the supplied URL is valid or not. To check if you're vulnerable, look for a call to `require("uri-js").parse()` where a user is able to send their own input. This affects uri-js 2.1.1 and earlier.

Severity ?

No CVSS data available.
