path-to-regexp vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service via multiple wildcards
### Impact When using multiple wildcards, combined with at least one parameter, a regular expression can be generated that is vulnerable to ReDoS. This backtracking vulnerability requires the second wildcard to be somewhere other than the end of the path. **Unsafe examples:** ``` /*foo-*bar-:baz /*a-:b-*c-:d /x/*a-:b/*c/y ``` **Safe examples:** ``` /*foo-:bar /*foo-:bar-*baz ``` ### Patches Upgrade to version `8.4.0`. ### Workarounds If developers are using multiple wildcard parameters, they can check the regex output with a tool such as https://makenowjust-labs.github.io/recheck/playground/ to confirm whether a path is vulnerable.
