Summary
node-path-to-regexp vulnerability
Details

It was discovered that Path-to-Regexp incorrectly handled route patterns containing multiple named parameters separated by non-delimiter characters such as hyphens. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service via catastrophic backtracking in the generated regular expressions.
