CVE-2022-25883

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions semver versions prior to 7.5.2 semver versions prior to 6.3.1 on the 6.x branch semver versions prior to 5.7.2

Description The issue is related to the use of a regular expression with inefficient computational complexity in the semver package, which can lead to a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the new Range function when untrusted user data is provided as a range. This can allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For semver versions prior to 7.5.2, update to version 7.5.2 or later. For semver versions prior to 6.3.1 on the 6.x branch, update to version 6.3.1 or later. For semver versions prior to 5.7.2, update to version 5.7.2 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the new Range function to trusted input only until a patch is available.
