Summary
Regular Expression Denial of Service in string package
Details

Affected versions of string are vulnerable to regular expression denial of service when specifically crafted untrusted user input is passed into the underscore or unescapeHTML methods.

Currently, the best solution is to avoid passing user input to the underscore and unescapeHTML methods.

Alternatively, a user provided patch is available in Pull Request #217, however this patch has not been tested, nor has it been merged by the package author.
