Description ReDoS vulnerability is an algorithmic complexity vulnerability that usually appears in backtracking-kind regex engines, e.g. the javascript default regex engine. The attacker can construct malicious input to trigger the worst-case time complexity of the regex engine to make a denial-of-service attack. In this project, here has used the ReDoS vulnerable regex that can be triggered by the below PoC: How to repair The cause of this vulnerability is the use of the backtracking-kind regex engine. I recommend the author to use the RE2 regex engine developed by google, but it doesn't support lookaround and backreference extension features, so we need to change the original regex and add additional code constraints. Here is my repair solution: Using this code snippet to replace the code in line 156 can repair this vulnerability. The match semantics of the new regex + code constraint above is equivalent to the original regex. I hope the author can adopt this repair solution and I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Is there a way to have optional flag values? Something like the following: Given it should return , given it should return something like , and given it should return ,
