CVE-2016-10527

23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-10527 describes a catastrophic backtracking vulnerability in the riot-compiler version 2.3.21, impacting riot.js and riot-compiler products. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) can lead to a denial of service due to an inefficient regular expression, requiring no user interaction or privileges for an attacker to exploit. While the EPSS score is low and there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion, the potential for a complete denial of service remains a concern.
