CVE-2020-28500

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions lodash versions prior to 4.17.21

Description The issue is related to the toNumber, trim, and trimEnd functions in the lodash library, which can lead to an uncontrolled consumption of resources, potentially causing a denial of service. This can be exploited by a remote attacker. The vulnerability is a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) issue.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.17.21, update to version 4.17.21 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the toNumber, trim, and trimEnd functions until a patch is available. Restrict the use of these functions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
