EXPLANATION:
We replaced the regular expression with a non-backtracking variant while maintaining the functionality. In this specific case, the regex is used for formatting a number with commas for better readability. We used a non-backtracking regex to achieve the same result.
The provided solution works in the same way as the original code. It formats the number by adding commas for better readability, just like the original regex. The change made is designed to address the security issue while preserving the intended functionality.
