View All on GitHub Security: Add input length guard to phone parser (DoS mitigation) about 1 month ago
AI Summary: This issue proposes adding an early input length validation to the `parse_phone()` function. Currently, the function processes excessively long strings with regex before checking their length, leading to potential Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks due to resource exhaustion. The fix involves adding a simple `if len(text) > MAX_LENGTH` check at the beginning of the function to immediately reject oversized inputs, improving performance and security.
