Description Andrej Nemec 2017-04-25 12:41:37 UTC 
Affected versions of decamelize package are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). The seperators are not escaped and may allow an attacker to send seperators like |, which will cause the regex parser to hang for long periods of time.
