Regular Expression Denial of Service in papaparse

Description

Versions of papaparse prior to 5.2.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDos). The parse function contains a malformed regular expression that takes exponentially longer to process non-numerical inputs. This allows attackers to stall systems and lead to Denial of Service.

Recommendation

Update the papaparse package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

• Affected version(s): < 5.2.0
• Patched version(s): 5.2.0
