Summary
Regular Expression Denial of Service in underscore.string
Details
Versions of underscore.string prior to 3.3.5 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS).
The function unescapeHTML is vulnerable to ReDoS due to an overly-broad regex. The slowdown is approximately 2s for 50,000 characters but grows exponentially with larger inputs.
Recommendation
Upgrade to version 3.3.5 or higher.
