Severity ?
5.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
Summary
@octokit/request sends parameterized requests to GitHub’s APIs with sensible defaults in browsers and Node. Starting in version 1.0.0 and prior to version 9.2.1, the regular expression `/<([^>]+)>; rel="deprecation"/` used to match the `link` header in HTTP responses is vulnerable to a ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) attack. This vulnerability arises due to the unbounded nature of the regex's matching behavior, which can lead to catastrophic backtracking when processing specially crafted input. An attacker could exploit this flaw by sending a malicious `link` header, resulting in excessive CPU usage and potentially causing the server to become unresponsive, impacting service availability. Version 9.2.1 fixes the issue.

A partir de la versi\u00f3n 1.0.0 y antes de la versi\u00f3n 9.2.1, la expresi\u00f3n regular `/\u0026lt;([^\u0026gt;]+)\u0026gt;; rel=\"deprecation\"/` utilizada para hacer coincidir el encabezado `link` en las respuestas HTTP es vulnerable a un ataque ReDoS (denegaci\u00f3n de servicio de expresi\u00f3n regular). Esta vulnerabilidad surge debido a la naturaleza ilimitada del comportamiento de coincidencia de la expresi\u00f3n regular, que puede provocar un retroceso catastr\u00f3fico al procesar una entrada especialmente manipulada. Un atacante podr\u00eda explotar esta falla enviando un encabezado `link` malicioso, lo que resultar\u00eda en un uso excesivo de la CPU y potencialmente causar\u00eda que el servidor dejara de responder, lo que afectar\u00eda la disponibilidad del servicio. La versi\u00f3n 9.2.1 corrige el problema."
