DescriptionCVE.org
A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability was discovered in the Hugging Face Transformers library, specifically in the get_imports() function within dynamic_module_utils.py. This vulnerability affects versions 4.49.0 and is fixed in version 4.51.0. The issue arises from a regular expression pattern \s*try\s*:.*?except.*?: used to filter out try/except blocks from Python code, which can be exploited to cause excessive CPU consumption through crafted input strings due to catastrophic backtracking. This vulnerability can lead to remote code loading disruption, resource exhaustion in model serving, supply chain attack vectors, and development pipeline disruption.

Technical ContextAI
A denial of service vulnerability allows an attacker to disrupt the normal functioning of a system, making it unavailable to legitimate users. This vulnerability is classified as Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity (ReDoS) (CWE-1333).
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Implement rate limiting and input validation. Use timeout mechanisms for resource-intensive operations. Deploy DDoS protection where applicable.
