chjj/marked

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 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.

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.
