CVE-2022-1930 is a ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) vulnerability discovered in the eth-account PyPI package. The vulnerability was discovered by Denys Vozniuk of the JFrog Security Research Team and was published on August 11, 2022. The vulnerability affects eth-account versions prior to 0.5.9 (JFrog Research).

The vulnerability is triggered when an attacker can supply arbitrary input to the encode_structured_data method, leading to an exponential Regular Expression Denial of Service condition. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 5.9, indicating a medium severity level (JFrog Research).

When successfully exploited, this vulnerability can lead to denial of service conditions in applications using the affected versions of eth-account (JFrog Research).

A proof of concept exploit exists that involves sending specially crafted input to the encode_structured_data method containing malicious type definitions (JFrog Research).

The vulnerability has been fixed in eth-account version 0.5.9. Users are advised to upgrade to this version or later to mitigate the vulnerability (JFrog Research).
