  1. security: Fix REDOS vulnerability 

    Problem:
As disclosed by email, the regex in this module was vulnerable to
catastrophic backtracking.
This could be used as a REDOS vector for Node.js servers that use
this module.

Solution:
Use a two-step validation process.
Split the vulnerable regex into three safe ones.
