path-to-regexp vulnerable to Denial of Service via sequential optional groups

Open Source Vulnerabilities GHSA-j3q9-mxjg-w52f

### Impact A bad regular expression is generated any time you have multiple sequential optional groups (curly brace syntax), such as `{a}{b}{c}:z`. The generated regex grows exponentially with the number of groups, causing denial of service. ### Patches Fixed in version 8.4.0. ### Workarounds Limit the number of sequential optional groups in route patterns. Avoid passing user-controlled input as route patterns.
