Since #921 and #924 have been closed I am raising the following issue as it should be fixed!

Since December 2020 Checkmark has raised the following issue (which is getting flagged for me in WebStorm IDE):

INEFFICIENT REGULAR EXPRESSION COMPLEXITY IN DEBUG

In NPM debug, the enable function accepts a regular expression from user input without escaping it. Arbitrary regular expressions could be injected to cause a Denial of Service attack on the user's browser, otherwise known as a ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service). This is a different issue than CVE-2017-16137.

CWE-1333 - Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity
The product uses a regular expression with an inefficient, possibly exponential worst-case computational complexity that consumes excessive CPU cycles.
