Dependency Hierarchy: - :x: **Django-3.2.21-py3-none-any.whl** (Vulnerable Library)
Found in HEAD commit: 4f267b5314b032c9de388aeb1653b03f28f84bf5
Found in base branch: main
Following the fix for CVE-2019-14232, the regular expressions used in the implementation of django.utils.text.Truncator’s chars() and words() methods (with html=True) were revised and improved. However, these regular expressions still exhibited linear backtracking complexity, so when given a very long, potentially malformed HTML input, the evaluation would still be slow, leading to a potential denial of service vulnerability.
