NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python313-sqlparse package and not the python313-sqlparse package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:16.0.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

sqlparse is a non-validating SQL parser module for Python. Prior to 0.6.0, group_comments in sqlparse/engine/grouping.py repeatedly rescans comment-only statements before the MAX_GROUPING_TOKENS guard, causing quadratic CPU consumption through sqlparse.parse() and sqlparse.format(sql, strip_comments=True). This issue is fixed in version 0.6.0.
