CVE-2022-31129: Moment.js vulnerable to Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

July 6, 2022 (updated November 4, 2025)

  • using string-to-date parsing in moment (more specifically rfc2822 parsing, which is tried by default) has quadratic (N^2) complexity on specific inputs
  • noticeable slowdown is observed with inputs above 10k characters
  • users who pass user-provided strings without sanity length checks to moment constructor are vulnerable to (Re)DoS attacks
