Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-48125)

CWE-ID: CWE-1333 - Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to inefficient regular expression complexity in withClientHints() when parsing a crafted Sec-CH-UA-Model header. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to cause a denial of service.

Only server-side applications that call UAParser(headers).withClientHints() are vulnerable.
