CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the uri-js library versions up to 4.4.1, specifically within the removeDotSegments function, which can enter an infinite loop when processing path segments that start with Unicode line or paragraph separators. This can lead to a denial of service, as the Node.js event loop becomes blocked indefinitely, potentially resulting in heap exhaustion. Organizations utilizing this library, particularly those handling IRIs, should prioritize patching this issue to mitigate the risk of service disruption.

Original NVD Description
uri-js through 4.4.1 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the removeDotSegments function that loops infinitely when a path segment begins with Unicode line or paragraph separators. Attackers can trigger this by calling removeDotSegments directly or through normalize/resolve functions with IRI handling enabled, causing the Node.js event loop to block indefinitely until heap exhaustion.
