Impact

Inefficient regular expression complexity of lowercase() and uppercase() regex could lead to a denial of service attack. With a formed payload 'a' + 'a'.repeat(i) + 'A', only 32 characters payload could take 29443 ms time execution when testing lowercase(). The same issue happens with uppercase().
