Configuration

Regex Security Settings

OL Connect Automate nodes support configurable regex security levels to protect against potentially unsafe regular expression patterns. Configure this in your Node-RED settings.js file:

module.exports = {
  olConnectAutomate: {
    security: {
      regex: "moderate"  // Options: "none", "moderate", "strict"
    }
  }
}

Security Levels

• none (default): No validation or restrictions on regex patterns. All patterns are allowed.

• moderate: Validates patterns and logs warnings for potentially unsafe patterns that could cause performance issues. Patterns are still allowed to execute, but warnings are logged to help identify potential problems during development.

• strict: Blocks unsafe patterns that could cause performance issues or security vulnerabilities. Patterns that fail validation will throw an error and prevent execution.

Usage Recommendations

• Use none for maximum compatibility when regex security is not a concern
• Use moderate during development to identify potential pattern issues while maintaining functionality
• Use strict in production environments for maximum security and protection

Note: Changes to these settings require a Node-RED restart to take effect.

Support

OL Connect Automate is supported through the OL Care program. Feel free to visit the OL Connect Automate forum to post questions, comments and suggestions.
