Npm · @Progfay/Scrapbox-Parser · CVE-2021-27405
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
@progfay/scrapbox-parser versions prior to 6.0.3
@progfay/scrapbox-parser versions prior to 7.0.2
**Description**
A ReDoS (regular expression denial of service) flaw was found in the @progfay/scrapbox-parser package for Node.js. This issue allows an attacker to cause the application to consume an excessive amount of CPU by parsing specially crafted text.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 6.0.3, upgrade to version 6.0.3 or later.
For versions prior to 7.0.2, upgrade to version 7.0.2 or later.
As a temporary workaround, avoid parsing text with a lot of `[` characters to minimize the risk of exploitation.
