Background
In light of recent issues and pull requests, specifically Issue #2609 and PR #2824, there's a growing need to proactively prevent Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerabilities in our codebase.
Proposal
To address this, I propose the integration of
eslint-plugin-redos
into our development workflow. This plugin will help us identify potentially vulnerable regex patterns in our code, thereby preventing possible ReDoS attacks.Implementation
The integration involves adding
eslint-plugin-redos
to ourpackage.json
and configuring it according to our project's coding standards. The official documentation foreslint-plugin-redos
can be found here, which provides detailed instructions on how to use and configure the plugin effectively.Expected Impact
By implementing this plugin, we can enhance the security and robustness of our application, ensuring that similar issues to those addressed in Issue #2609 and PR #2824 are mitigated before they arise. This proactive approach will not only improve our code quality but also align with best practices in software development.
