What is CVE-2025-58451?

CVE-2025-58451 is a high-severity uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in cattown (npm), affecting versions < 1.0.2. It is fixed in 1.0.2. Crafted input forces the application to consume excessive CPU, memory, or other resources, degrading or denying service.

Which versions of cattown are affected by CVE-2025-58451?

cattown (npm) versions < 1.0.2 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2025-58451?

Yes. CVE-2025-58451 is fixed in 1.0.2. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is CVE-2025-58451 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2025-58451 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2025-58451 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

Summary

Cattown is Vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption through Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

Overview

A security review of the Cattown identified multiple weaknesses that could potentially impact its stability and security.

Affected Versions

All versions below 1.0.2

Description of Vulnerabilities

CWE-1333: Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity
The package used regular expressions with inefficient, potentially exponential worst-case complexity. This can cause excessive CPU usage due to excessive backtracking on crafted inputs, potentially leading to denial of service.
CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (Resource Exhaustion)
The package was vulnerable to resource exhaustion, where processing malicious inputs could cause high CPU or memory usage, potentially leading to denial of service.

Resolution

These vulnerabilities have been fixed in version 1.0.2 of the Cattown. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this version to mitigate the risks.

Recommendations

Upgrade to Cattown version 1.0.2 or later as soon as possible.
Review and restrict input sources if untrusted inputs are processed.

Acknowledgments

The issues were proactively identified through CodeQL static analysis.

Impact

Trigger excessive CPU consumption leading to denial of service
Cause resource exhaustion affecting service availability
Bypass protection mechanisms causing unexpected or insecure behavior

Crafted input forces the application to consume excessive CPU, memory, or other resources, degrading or denying service. Typical impact: denial of service.

Affected versions

cattown (< 1.0.2)

Security releases

cattown → 1.0.2 (npm)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
