🎯 What: This PR fixes a security vulnerability where CalendarVersion.Parse used an unbounded string.Split on user-provided input.

⚠️ Risk: An attacker could provide a very long string with many dots (e.g., millions of dots), causing the Split method to allocate a massive array and many small strings, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) due to excessive memory consumption and CPU usage.

🛡️ Solution:

  • Implemented a maximum length check (256 characters) for the input version string.
  • Limited the Split operation to a maximum number of parts (5 for default format, or tokenCount + 1 for custom formats).
  • Declared the parts variable once to avoid CS0136 errors.
  • Added unit tests to verify that excessively long strings or strings with too many components are rejected with appropriate exceptions.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 1080110722513811361 started by @tetri

- Added input length check (max 256 chars) to prevent excessive memory allocation.
- Updated default parsing to use bounded Split('.', 5).
- Updated custom format parsing to use bounded Split based on token count.
- Bounded token split for format pattern.
- Resolved CS0136 variable naming conflict from previous attempt.
- Added security test cases for long inputs and excessive delimiters.
