Summary

A regular expression denial-of-service (ReDoS) vulnerability has been discovered in ua-parser-js when using the Client Hints API. By sending a crafted Sec-CH-UA-Model header to an application that calls UAParser(headers).withClientHints(), an attacker can cause the parser to spend excessive CPU time due to catastrophic backtracking in the device regex:
js
/ ([w ]+) miui/v?d/i
Unlike when using the User-Agent value, which has a hard limit of UA MAX LENGTH = 500, when using Client Hints, values are copied without a length limit before being passed into regex parsing.

PoC

js
const { UAParser } = require('ua-parser-js');

const headers = {
 'sec-ch-ua-platform': '"Android"',
 'sec-ch-ua-mobile': '?1',
 'sec-ch-ua-model': '"' + 'A '.repeat(25000) + '"'
};

const t0 = process.hrtime.bigint();
UAParser(headers).withClientHints();
const ms = Number(process.hrtime.bigint() - t0) / 1e6;

if (ms > 100) {
 console.log('Potential ReDoS');
}

Impact

This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to trigger a denial-of-service condition in any server-side application that uses UAParser(headers).withClientHints(). A single request with a ~32,000-character model value can consume over 400ms of CPU time, with parsing time growing polynomially with input length. The impact is availability only, there is no confidentiality or integrity impact.

Affected Versions

ua-parser-js versions >=2.0.1, <=2.0.9 are affected. The withClientHints() API is not present in version 0.7.x or 1.x.

Patches

A patch has been released to fix the vulnerable regular expression and limit the Client Hints input. Users should update to version 2.0.10 or later.
