Summary
A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability was discovered in the huggingface/transformers repository, specifically in version 4.49.0. The vulnerability is due to inefficient regular expression complexity in the `SETTING_RE` variable within the `transformers/commands/chat.py` file. The regex contains repetition groups and non-optimized quantifiers, leading to exponential backtracking when processing 'almost matching' payloads. This can degrade application performance and potentially result in a denial-of-service (DoS) when handling specially crafted input strings. The issue is fixed in version 4.51.0.

La vulnerabilidad se debe a la complejidad ineficiente de la expresi\u00f3n regular en la variable `SETTING_RE` del archivo `transformers/commands/chat.py`. La expresi\u00f3n regular contiene grupos de repetici\u00f3n y cuantificadores no optimizados, lo que provoca un retroceso exponencial al procesar payloads casi coincidentes. Esto puede reducir el rendimiento de la aplicaci\u00f3n y potencialmente provocar una denegaci\u00f3n de servicio (DoS) al procesar cadenas de entrada especialmente manipuladas. El problema se ha corregido en la versi\u00f3n 4.51.0."
