CVE-2020-28493: Regular Expression Denial of Service
(updated )
The ReDOS vulnerability of the regex is mainly due to the sub-pattern [a-zA-Z0-9._-]+.[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+
This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.
