Vulnerability Details

Axios is vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). When a manipulated string is provided as input to the format method, the regular expression exhibits a time complexity of O(n^2). Server becomes unable to provide normal service due to the excessive cost and time wasted in processing vulnerable regular expressions.
