ReDoS, or Regular Expression Denial of Service, is a vulnerability affecting
poorly constructed and potentially inefficient regular expressions which can
make them perform extremely badly given a creatively constructed input string.

@pwntester I don't know what went wrong, but I opened the PR with the fix now manually, as the security advisory no longer allows me to access the private fork, so I could open a PR

@staabm staabm merged commit 5d8f29e into jquery-validation:master Jan 9, 2021

@erik-krogh sorry for not giving proper credit via git commit autorship. I somehow fucked up the patching of the vulnerability.

the process using the gh security audit was not clear to me.
