  - Mermaid is a JavaScript based diagramming and charting tool that uses Markdown-inspired text definitions
    and a renderer to create and modify complex diagrams. In the default configuration of mermaid 10.9.0-rc.1
    to 11.9.0, user supplied input for sequence diagram labels is passed to innerHTML during calculation of
    element size, causing XSS. (CVE-2025-54881)
