NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openshot-qt package and not the openshot-qt package as distributed by Debian.

Versions of the package angular from 1.4.9 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the <input type="url"> element due to the usage of an insecure regular expression in the input[url] functionality. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible by a large carefully-crafted input, which can result in catastrophic backtracking.
