NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream node-moment package and not the node-moment package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

The duration function in the moment package before 2.11.2 for Node.js allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a long string, aka a "regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)."
