Summary
### Impact
API servers running `express-zod-api` having:
- version of `express-zod-api` below `10.0.0-beta1`, - and using the following (or similar) validation schema in its implementation: `z.string().email()`,
are vulnerable to a DoS attack due to:
- Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity in `zod` versions up to `3.22.2`, - depending on `zod`.
### Patches
The patched version of `zod` fixing the vulnerability is `3.22.3`.
However, it's highly recommended to upgrade `express-zod-api` to at least version `10.0.0`, which does not depend on `zod` strictly and directly, but requires its installation as a peer dependency instead, enabling you to install the patched `zod` version yourself.
### Workarounds
When it's not possible to upgrade your dependencies, consider the following replacement in your implementation:
```diff - z.string().email() + z.string().regex( + /^(?!\.)(?!.*\.\.)([A-Z0-9_+-\.]*)[A-Z0-9_+-]@([A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9\-]*\.)+[A-Z]{2,}$/i + ) ```
This regular expression is taken from the suggested patch of `zod`.
