- CVSS_V3
- CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Description
### Impact A bad regular expression is generated any time you have multiple sequential optional groups (curly brace syntax), such as `{a}{b}{c}:z`. The generated regex grows exponentially with the number of groups, causing denial of service. ### Patches Fixed in version 8.4.0. ### Workarounds Limit the number of sequential optional groups in route patterns. Avoid passing user-controlled input as route patterns.
