Denial Of Service (DoS)

markdown-it is vulnerable to Denial of Service DoS. The vulnerability is due to quadratic-time processing in the smartquotes rule when typographer: true is enabled, which allows an attacker to supply specially crafted markdown containing consecutive quotation marks and consume excessive CPU...

Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity

Overview org.webjars.npm:markdown-it is a modern pluggable markdown parser. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity through the replaceAt function in the smartquotes rule when processing markdown input with a large number of consecutive quotation mar...
