Limits the length of version strings processed by `compareTo` to 256 characters. This prevents potential Denial of Service (DoS) attacks via memory exhaustion or excessive CPU usage when processing extremely long strings (e.g. 10MB+). Added regression tests in `src/security.test.ts`.

Vulnerability:
The version comparison logic (
compareToinsrc/index.ts) previously attempted to process strings of any length.Attackers could supply extremely long strings (e.g., 10MB+) to methods like
isAtLeastorisAbove, causing:replaceand arrays viasplit).Fix:
Introduced a
MAX_VERSION_LENGTHconstant (256 characters).The
compareTofunction now "fails fast" by returningNaN(which evaluates tofalsein comparisons) if the input string exceeds this limit.Verification:
Added performance/DoS regression tests in
src/security.test.tsensuring that massive strings are rejected immediately (<100ms) and returnfalse.Ran existing tests (
src/index.test.ts) to ensure no regressions for valid inputs.PR created automatically by Jules for task 13226085722345310659 started by @srod
Summary by cubic
Fixes a DoS risk in version comparison by limiting input length to 256 characters and failing fast. Long inputs now return false quickly, preventing memory and CPU spikes.
Written for commit 907bb8f. Summary will update on new commits.
