🎯 What: Optimized the deanonymization and mapping consolidation logic in utils.py.
⚠️ Risk: The previous implementation used a loop over all placeholders, compiling and running a regex for each. This resulted in O(N*M) complexity, making the system vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks with large mapping files.
🛡️ Solution: Refactored the logic to use a single regex pass with alternation for all placeholders/keys. This reduces complexity to approximately O(M) and significantly improves performance (observed ~120x speedup in tests).


PR created automatically by Jules for task 9759649323996146979 started by @leo-gan

Refactored `deanonymize_file` and `consolidate_mapping` to use a
single-pass regex substitution instead of a loop over all placeholders.
This addresses a potential performance-based Denial of Service
vulnerability and significantly improves processing speed for large
mapping files.

Code Review

This pull request optimizes the text replacement logic in the consolidate_mapping and deanonymize_file functions by replacing iterative regex substitutions with a single-pass approach using combined regex patterns. These changes improve performance and ensure correct matching by prioritizing longer keys and placeholders. I have no feedback to provide.
