Denial of Service in uap-core when processing crafted User-Agent strings

Published Feb 20, 2020 CVSS 3.1 · 5.7 Medium EPSS 2.3% KEV · Not listed
Description
uap-core before 0.7.3 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack when processing crafted User-Agent strings. Some regexes are vulnerable to regular expression denial of service (REDoS) due to overlapping capture groups. This allows remote attackers to overload a server by setting the User-Agent header in an HTTP(S) request to maliciously crafted long strings. This has been patched in uap-core 0.7.3.
