fix: resolve ReDoS vulnerability in casing convention rules#825
Merged
Conversation
Fixed catastrophic backtracking in regex patterns for: - schema-casing-convention: Changed from overlapping quantifiers to possessive pattern - parameter-casing-convention: Added mandatory hyphen separators to prevent overlap The vulnerable patterns [A-Z]+...([A-Z]+...)* caused exponential time complexity with crafted inputs. New patterns execute in linear time while maintaining the same validation logic. Test results: - All 1,362 existing tests pass - ReDoS attack patterns now complete in <1ms (previously >10s) - Standard headers and schema names still validated correctly Signed-off-by: Norbert Biczo <pyrooka@users.noreply.github.com>
