**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Sqlalchemy mako versions prior to 1.2.2 **Description** The issue is related to insufficient input validation when handling regular expressions in the Lexer class, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to launch a denial-of-service attack using specially crafted data. This affects not only Sqlalchemy mako but also babelplugin and linguaplugin. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 1.2.2, update to version 1.2.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the Lexer class to parse regular expressions until a patch is available.
