Description
A vulnerability has been found in yarnpkg Yarn up to 1.22.22. This impacts the function setOptions of the file src/util/request-manager.js. Such manipulation leads to inefficient regular expression complexity. Local access is required to approach this attack. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
Public exploit
An exploit or proof of concept is public: anyone can try it against an unpatched system. A reference of the record is tagged as an exploit. CISA's SSVC rates its exploitation: a proof of concept is public.
