Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity

  • Vulnerable module: markdown-it
  • Introduced through: markdown-it@14.1.1

Detailed paths

  • Introduced through: gulp-mvb@dennisreimann/gulp-mvb › markdown-it@14.1.1
    Remediation: Upgrade to markdown-it@14.2.0.

Overview

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 marks and the typographer option enabled. An attacker can cause excessive CPU consumption and disrupt service availability by submitting specially crafted markdown content containing many quote characters.

Remediation

Upgrade markdown-it to version 14.2.0 or higher.
