TL;DR

Browser cookie reads interpolated the cookie name into a regular expression, so metacharacters in a name could distort matching or burn CPU on pathological strings. The reader now walks semicolon-separated pairs and compares the name prefix literally after trimming optional whitespace. Decoding still uses the same URI decoding helper for the value segment.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.

Background info

axios is vulnerable to Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in versions 1.0.0 - 1.15.2.
