[JEXL] Detecting infinite loops in JEXL Scripts
Hi, I am planning to use JEXL library in my SaaS based product to run JavaScripts/JexlScripts(I understand, Jexl is not exactly java script). Since, security is one of the most important requirements for any SaaS based product, I am going to use Jexl Sandbox and Jexl Features to secure my application. I see that in Jexl features, we have a way to turn off the loops but for my requirement, I need to enable loops in the scripts. Is there a way detect infinite loops incase someone write's such an expression which turn into infinite loop during evaluation? Also, someone can also try to sabotage our application by running infinite loops. Is there a way to detect and avoid such a security issue? PS: I would really appreciate if you could let me know any other security aspects which I need to consider while using JEXL library.
