Impact
t.String({ format: 'url' }) is vulnerable to redos
Repeating a partial url format (protocol and hostname) multiple times cause regex to slow down significantly
Here's a table demonstrating how long it takes to process repeated partial url format

Workarounds
- It's recommended to always limit URL format to a reasonable length
t.String({
format: 'url',
maxLength: 288
})
- If a long URL format is necessary, to patch this without updating to 1.4.26, add the following code to any part of your codebase
import { FormatRegistry } from '@sinclair/typebox'
FormatRegistry.Delete('url')
FormatRegistry.Set('url', (value) =>
/^(?:https?|ftp):\/\/(?:[^\s:@]+(?::[^\s@]*)?@)?(?:(?!(?:10|127)(?:\.\d{1,3}){3})(?!(?:169\.254|192\.168)(?:\.\d{1,3}){2})(?!172\.(?:1[6-9]|2\d|3[0-1])(?:\.\d{1,3}){2})(?:[1-9]\d?|1\d\d|2[01]\d|22[0-3])(?:\.(?:1?\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])){2}(?:\.(?:[1-9]\d?|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-4]))|(?:(?:[a-z0-9\u{00a1}-\u{ffff}]+-)*[a-z0-9\u{00a1}-\u{ffff}]+)(?:\.(?:[a-z0-9\u{00a1}-\u{ffff}]+-)*[a-z0-9\u{00a1}-\u{ffff}]+)*(?:\.(?:[a-z\u{00a1}-\u{ffff}]{2,})))(?::\d{2,5})?(?:\/[^\s]*)?$/iu.test(
