Versions of the package black before 24.3.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the lines_with_leading_tabs_expanded function in the strings.py file. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious input that causes a denial of service. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible when running Black on untrusted input, or if you habitually put thousands of leading tab characters in your docstrings. https://github.com/psf/black/commit/f00093672628d212b8965a8993cee8bedf5fe9b8 https://github.com/psf/black/releases/tag/24.3.0 https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-PYTHON-BLACK-6256273
