Descriptions
Versions of the package semver before 7.5.2 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the function new Range, when untrusted user data is provided as a range.
A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability was discovered in node-semver package via the 'new Range' function. This issue could allow an attacker to pass untrusted malicious regex user data as a range, causing the service to excessively consume CPU depending upon the input size, resulting in a denial of service.
