Thumbor has Regex Denial of Service (ReDoS) in `convolution` filter

Published Jul 31, 2026·Updated Jul 31, 2026

NVD Description

### Summary The regular expression used to parse the `convolution` filter exhibits exponential-time backtracking for certain inputs, enabling a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). ### Details The RegExp for `convolution` is defined as `convolution\((?:\s*((?:[-]?[\d]+\.?[\d]*[;])*(?:[-]?[\d]+\.?[\d]*))\s*)(?:,\s*([\d]+)\s*)(?:,\s*([Tt]rue|[Ff]alse|1|0)\s*)?\)`. Within this expression a dangerous subpattern effectively behaves like `(\d+)*,\d+`. ### PoC A filter string containing many repeated values will exhaust `re.match`: - `convolution(-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11)` - http://localhost:8888/unsafe/0x0/smart/filters:convolution(-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11;-11)/x.png The evaluation occurs on https://github.com/thumbor/thumbor/blob/master/thumbor/filters/__init__.py#L189. ### Impact A specially crafted URL will lead to denial of service, as new images won't be processed until `re.match` returns.
