Affected: npm: path-to-regexp

### Impact

A bad regular expression is generated any time you have three or more parameters within a single segment, separated by something that is not a period (`.`). For example, `/:a-:b-:c` or `/:a-:b-:c-:d`. The backtrack protection added in `path-to-regexp@0.1.12` only prevents ambiguity for two parameters. With three or more, the generated lookahead does not block single separator characters, so capture groups overlap and cause catastrophic backtracking.

### Patches

Upgrade to [path-to-regexp@0.1.13](https://github.com/pillarjs/path-to-regexp/releases/tag/v.0.1.13)

Custom regex patterns in route definitions (e.g., `/:a-:b([^-/]+)-:c([^-/]+)`) are not affected because they override the default capture group.

### Workarounds

All versions can be patched by providing a custom regular expression for parameters after the first in a single segment. As long as the custom regular expression does not match the text before the parameter, you will be safe. For example, change `/:a-:b-:c` to `/:a-:b([^-/]+)-:c([^-/]+)`.

If paths cannot be rewritten and versions cannot be upgraded, another alternative is to limit the URL length.
