No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

Version 3.0.7 of the Securly Chrome Extension downloads config.json over HTTP and compiles server-provided patterns as JavaScript regular expressions via new RegExp() without complexity validation. An on-path attacker can inject specific patterns to cause catastrophic backtracking, resulting in denial of service on all browsing.
