Advisory Weakness Curation

Regular Expression Denial of Service in highcharts Versions of `highcharts` prior to 6.1.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). Untrusted input may cause catastrophic backtracking while matching regular expressions. This can cause the application to be unresponsive leading to Denial of Service. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 6.1.0 or higher.

Incorrect Regular Expression In `js/parts/SvgRenderer.js` in Highcharts, the use of backtracking regular expressions permitted an attacker to conduct a denial of service attack against the `SVGRenderer` component, aka ReDoS.
