An issue in alanclarke URLite v.3.1.0 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) via a crafted payload to the parsing function.
The product uses a regular expression with an inefficient, possibly exponential worst-case computational complexity that consumes excessive CPU cycles.
The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
