PapaParse before 5.7.1 Quadratic-Time Parsing DoS via indexOf Scan

8.7 highFix available

High (8.7) in mholt papaparse.

PapaParse before 5.7.1 contains an inefficient algorithmic complexity vulnerability that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to cause denial of service by submitting delimiter-free quoted CSV input to Papa.parse(). Attackers can supply a single-column quoted CSV with no delimiters, triggering repeated full-buffer indexOf scans per row that grow quadratically with input size, exhausting CPU and blocking the Node.js event loop or freezing a browser tab.
