markdown-it: Quadratic complexity in smartquotes with unmatched closing quotes...

CVE-2026-111759

A flaw was found in markdown-it. A remote attacker can trigger a Denial of Service DoS by submitting specially crafted Markdown input containing numerous mismatched quotation marks when typographer mode is enabled. This input causes the parser to repeatedly rescan quote tokens, resulting in...

Unchecked Input for Loop Condition

Overview markdown-it is a modern pluggable markdown parser. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Unchecked Input for Loop Condition via the processinlines function in src/rulescore/smartquotes.ts when the typographer option is enabled. The smartquotes rule performs a linear scan of...

PT-2026-117540

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions markdown-it versions prior to 14.3.2 markdown-it versions prior to 15.0.2 Description When the typographer option is set to true, specially crafted Markdown input can trigger quadratic processing time within the smartquotes rule. This occurs...

CVE-2026-48988

A flaw was found in markdown-it, a Markdown parser. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a Denial of Service DoS when the typographer option is enabled. This occurs due to inefficient processing of smartquotes, leading to excessive CPU consumption when parsing specially...
