CVE-2024-12391

Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in binary-husky/gpt_academic

Published Mar 20, 2025 CVSS 3.0 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A vulnerability in binary-husky/gpt_academic, as of commit 310122f, allows for a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack. The function '解析项目源码(手动指定和筛选源码文件类型)' permits the execution of user-provided regular expressions. Certain regular expressions can cause the Python RE engine to take exponential time to execute, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. An attacker who controls both the regular expression and the search string can exploit this vulnerability to hang the server for an arbitrary amount of time.
