+  # An untrusted regular expression is any regexp containing patterns sourced
+  # from user input.
+  #
+  # Ruby's built-in regular expression library allows patterns which complete in
+  # exponential time, permitting denial-of-service attacks.
+  #
+  # Not all regular expression features are available in untrusted regexes, and
+  # there is a strict limit on total execution time. See the RE2 documentation
+  # at https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax for more details.
