Service interruption via polynomial-time regex matching
Published Mar 20, 2025 · Updated Oct 15, 2025
ReDoS in ChuanhuChatGPT as of commit 20b2e02 allows remote authenticated users to interrupt service via a malicious JSON upload. The server applies Python's backtracking regex <[^>]+> to attacker-controlled input, where crafted nonmatches require polynomial matching time and drive CPU use to 100%. A low-privileged authenticated session is required; successful exploitation ties up server CPU for an extended period and can deny the application to all users.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
