πŸ›‘οΈ Sentinel: [CRITICAL/MEDIUM] Fix DoS via Long Version Strings

🚨 Severity: MEDIUM
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: The compareTo function lacked input length validation, allowing processing of arbitrarily long version strings.
🎯 Impact: Potential Denial of Service (DoS) via resource exhaustion (CPU/Memory) in string operations (split, trim, replace).
πŸ”§ Fix: Added MAX_VERSION_LENGTH (256) constant and a check at the start of compareTo.
βœ… Verification: Added a regression test in src/security.test.ts that verifies long strings return false immediately.

Also updated .jules/sentinel.md with the new learning.

Summary by cubic

Prevented DoS in version comparison by limiting input length and rejecting excessively long version strings. Inputs longer than 256 characters are now rejected early to avoid CPU and memory exhaustion.

  • Bug Fixes
    • Enforced MAX_VERSION_LENGTH = 256 in compareTo; returns NaN when exceeded.
    • Added a regression test to ensure isAtLeast returns false for overly long inputs.
    • Updated security notes and added a patch changeset.

Written for commit 635568f. Summary will update on new commits.
