HIGH 7.5EPSS 0.82%
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.82%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Async <= 2.6.4 and <= 3.2.5 are vulnerable to ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) while parsing function in autoinject function. NOTE: this is disputed by the supplier because there is no realistic threat model: regular expressions are not used with untrusted input.
