Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Bypasses in markdown HTML sanitization allow attackers to inject malicious HTML payloads directly into the rendered output, resulting in full XSS execution context. Prior fixes required integrating a sanitization library and restricting class attribute tokens.
Denial of Service (DoS): Inefficient parsing of specific table structures in the markdown parser extension can lead to severe CPU utilization spikes, resulting in a denial of service. Developers must verify input complexity limits or use patched parser extensions.
