Good catch on the ReDoS vector. The regex fix works, but a simpler and more robust defense is to cap input length before the regex runs. No legitimate time string exceeds ~20 characters, so: export function parse(str: string): number {
if (str.length > 100) {
return NaN;
}
// ... existing regex
}This has two advantages:
The regex change from If you do want to fix the regex itself, I'd suggest combining both: length cap + the regex fix as belt-and-suspenders. |
