- Summary
- Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity in TorBot
- Details
-
Torbot is an open source tor network intelligence tool. In affected versions the
torbot.modules.validators.validate_link functionuses the python-validators URL validation regex. This particular regular expression has an exponential complexity which allows an attacker to cause an application crash using a well-crafted argument. An attacker can use a well-crafted URL argument to exploit the vulnerability in the regular expression and cause a Denial of Service on the system. The validators file has been removed in version 4.0.0. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. - Database specific
