CVE-2024-39249 is a regular expression denial-of-service vulnerability in the Node.js async package. Async versions 2.6.4 and earlier and 3.2.5 and earlier use a vulnerable regular expression while the autoinject function parses a function. The supplier disputes the issue on the basis that the regular expression is not applied to untrusted input under a realistic threat model.
