Exponential catastrophic backtracking (ReDoS) in marked

Marked is a markdown parser and compiler. Prior to version 4.0.10, the regular expression `inline.reflinkSearch` may cause catastrophic backtracking against some strings and lead to a denial of service (DoS). Anyone who runs untrusted markdown through a vulnerable version of marked and does not use a worker with a time limit may be affected. This issue is patched in version 4.0.10. As a workaround, avoid running untrusted markdown through marked or run marked on a worker thread and set a reasonable time limit to prevent draining resources.

Cubic catastrophic backtracking (ReDoS) in marked

Marked is a markdown parser and compiler. Prior to version 4.0.10, the regular expression `block.def` may cause catastrophic backtracking against some strings and lead to a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS). Anyone who runs untrusted markdown through a vulnerable version of marked and does not use a worker with a time limit may be affected. This issue is patched in version 4.0.10. As a workaround, avoid running untrusted markdown through marked or run marked on a worker thread and set a reasonable time limit to prevent draining resources.

Marked: OOM Denial of Service via Infinite Recursion in marked Tokenizer

Marked is a markdown parser and compiler. From 18.0.0 to 18.0.1, a critical Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in marked. By providing a specific 3-byte input sequence a tab, a vertical tab, and a newline (\x09\x0b\n)—an unauthenticated attacker can trigger an infinite recursion loop during parsing. This leads to unbounded memory allocation, causing the host Node.js application to crash via Memory Exhaustion (OOM). This vulnerability is fixed in 18.0.2.

Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in markedjs/marked

Marked prior to version 0.3.17 is vulnerable to a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack due to catastrophic backtracking in several regular expressions used for parsing HTML tags and markdown links. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted markdown input, such as deeply nested or repetitively structured brackets or tag attributes, which cause the parser to hang and lead to a Denial of Service.

The marked package before 0.3.4 for Node.js allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via unspecified vectors that trigger a "catastrophic backtracking issue for the em inline rule," aka a "regular expression denial of service (ReDoS)."

Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in marked 0.3.2 and earlier for Node.js allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a vbscript tag in a link.

Denial of Service in Marked

Marked is an open-source markdown parser and compiler (npm package "marked"). In marked from version 1.1.1 and before version 2.0.0, there is a Regular expression Denial of Service vulnerability. This vulnerability can affect anyone who runs user generated code through marked. This vulnerability is fixed in version 2.0.0.

The marked module is vulnerable to a regular expression denial of service. Based on the information published in the public issue, 1k characters can block for around 6 seconds.

marked version 0.3.6 and earlier is vulnerable to an XSS attack in the data: URI parser.

marked is an application that is meant to parse and compile markdown. Due to the way that marked 0.3.5 and earlier parses input, specifically HTML entities, it's possible to bypass marked's content injection protection (`sanitize: true`) to inject a `javascript:` URL. This flaw exists because `&#xNNanything;` gets parsed to what it could and leaves the rest behind, resulting in just `anything;` being left.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Marked module before 0.3.1 for Node.js allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to (1) gfm codeblocks (language) or (2) javascript url's.
