An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of GHSA-xx4c-jj58-r7x6 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- validator (npm): affected from 11.1.0; fixed in 13.7.0\n- validator (npm): affected from 11.1.0; fixed in 13.7.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-xx4c-jj58-r7x6/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-xx4c-jj58-r7x6/index.md)","id":"GHSA-xx4c-jj58-r7x6","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-xx4c-jj58-r7x6/index.md","name":"GHSA-xx4c-jj58-r7x6","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"JavaScript validation library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by exploiting inefficient regular expressions in the validator library's trim functions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"### Impact\nVersions of `validator` prior to 13.7.0 are affected by an inefficient Regular Expression complexity  when using the `rtrim` and `trim` sanitizers.\n\n### Patches\nThe problem has been patched in validator 13.7.0","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity in Validator.js","id":"GHSA-xx4c-jj58-r7x6","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"advisory","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2021"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["13.7.0"],"introduced":["11.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"validator","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-xx4c-jj58-r7x6"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["13.7.0"],"introduced":["11.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"validator","purl":"pkg:npm/validator","source":"GHSA-xx4c-jj58-r7x6"}],"products":null,"published":"2021-11-19","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by exploiting inefficient regular expressions in the validator library's trim functions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-xx4c-jj58-r7x6/"}
