ETK-2026-3501Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
dateparser versions before 1.5.0 can consume excessive CPU while parsing specially structured, attacker-controlled input. An attacker can cause denial of service when an application passes untrusted strings to the affected date parsing APIs; ordinary-length date strings are not affected.
mitigation
Upgrade dateparser to version 1.5.0. If upgrading is not immediately possible, enforce a maximum length for untrusted strings before parsing them.
fixed in 1.5.0
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
