6.8 MEDIUM3.5 LOW

Redcarpet is a Ruby library for Markdown processing. In Redcarpet before version 3.5.1, there is an injection vulnerability which can enable a cross-site scripting attack. In affected versions no HTML escaping was being performed when processing quotes. This applies even when the `:escape_html` option was being used. This is fixed in version 3.5.1 by the referenced commit.

7.5 HIGH

Stack-based buffer overflow in the header_anchor function in the HTML renderer in Redcarpet before 3.3.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
