binary-husky gpt_academic Regular Expression Denial-of-Service Vulnerability

Vulnerability

A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability has been identified in binary-husky/gpt_academic version 310122f. This issue arises because the application uses a regular expression to parse user input, which can be exploited to cause polynomial time matching with specially crafted inputs. As a result, an attacker can send a small malicious payload that disrupts the server's ability to process requests, leading to unresponsiveness and degraded service for other users.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability causes the application to become unresponsive, disrupting service and request handling for other users.
