Changes
Update the TypeScript HogVM to use
re2
for regexp matching.This avoids ReDoS errors.
How did you test this code?
All tests continue to pass.
What about Python?
I looked into it and opted to keep the Python HogVM using regular Python
re
for now. I could install a python package (the officialre2
package is out of date, pyre2 is better), but that requires everyone to runbrew install re2
or equivalent to get some.h
files.Since we're not using the Python HogVM in production anywhere, I'll skip the hassle for now and keep it as a TODO to revisit if we ever want to use that for anything.
