Summary

Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity in koa

Details

Summary

Koa uses an evil regex to parse the X-Forwarded-Proto and X-Forwarded-Host HTTP headers. This can be exploited to carry out a Denial-of-Service attack.

PoC

Coming soon.

Impact

This is a Regex Denial-of-Service attack and causes memory exhaustion. The regex should be improved and empty values should not be allowed.
