regex fix #286

Closed dpep closed 9 months ago

dpep commented 9 months ago

Hey there! I saw a minor security vulnerability with a regex in this library. In trying to match a hexidecimal character, the regex does /A-f/ - note that A-f is a much larger range than A-F and includes some fun character (see ('A'...'f').to_a). The simpliest fix is changing the regex to be

name =~ /\Au([0-9A-f]{4,6})\Z/

but then I discovered that Ruby regex has it's own shorthand for matching hex characters \h, which seems even better. are you open to fixing this regex?

Thanks you! However, the spec for this part says that only uppercase letters are allowed, so using \h is not a valid change.

I have gone ahead and fixed the typo, thanks again for discovering it.
