CVE-2026-40319 PUBLISHED

Giskard has a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in RegexMatching Check

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 10.04.2026 Published: 17.04.2026 Updated: 17.04.2026

Giskard is an open-source testing framework for AI models. In versions prior to 1.0.2b1, the RegexMatching check passes a user-supplied regular expression pattern directly to Python's re.search() without any timeout or complexity guard. A crafted regex pattern can trigger catastrophic backtracking, causing the process to hang indefinitely. Exploitation requires write access to a check definition and subsequent execution of the test suite. This issue has been fixed in giskard-checks version 1.0.2b1.
