CVE-2026-106104: Quasar Framework: Super-linear regex backtracking on User-Agent lets one request stall a Quasar SSR server
Quasar Framework is a framework for building high-performance Vue.js user interfaces. Prior to 2.23.3, Platform.parseSSR() passed an unbounded User-Agent request header to getMatch() in ui/src/plugins/platform/Platform.js, whose browser-detection expressions combined greedy captures with repeated unbounded scans. Platform belongs to autoInstalledPlugins, so this parsing occurs before routing for every SSR request. A crafted unauthenticated request containing repeated version tokens without a terminating Safari token causes super-linear backtracking and blocks the Node.js event loop, delaying every other SSR request. SPA, PWA, Electron, Cordova, Capacitor, browser-extension, and static-site-generation targets are not affected because they do not parse an attacker-controlled request header through this path. This issue is fixed in version 2.23.3.
