Impact

Given a malformed {% case %} tag without associated {% when %} or {% else %} block, and no terminating {% endcase %} tag, Python Liquid hangs in an infinite loop at parse time. This allows malicious template authors to craft templates for a denial of service attack.

Patches

The issue is fixed in version 2.2.1 with the correction of the liquid.TokenStream.eof attribute. The kind and value of the special EOF token are now the same, so either can be tested against liquid.token.TOKEN EOF.

Workarounds

Manually correct the definition of liquid.TokenStream.eof before parsing any templates.
python
import liquid
from liquid.token import TOKEN EOF

liquid.stream.TokenStream.eof = liquid.Token(TOKEN EOF, TOKEN EOF, -1, "")

# ...
