🔴CVE-2018-25110

Vulnerable Library - marked-0.3.5.tgz

A markdown parser built for speed

Library home page: https://registry.npmjs.org/marked/-/marked-0.3.5.tgz

Path to dependency file: /package.json

Dependency Hierarchy:

  • marked-0.3.5.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Reachability Analysis

This vulnerability is potentially reachable:

- owasp-nodejs-goat-1.3.0/server.js (Application)
    -> ❌ marked-0.3.5/lib/marked.js (Vulnerable Component)

Vulnerability Details

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.

Vulnerable Library - marked-0.3.5.tgz

A markdown parser built for speed

Library home page: https://registry.npmjs.org/marked/-/marked-0.3.5.tgz

Path to dependency file: /package.json

Dependency Hierarchy:

  • marked-0.3.5.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Reachability Analysis

This vulnerability is potentially reachable:

- owasp-nodejs-goat-1.3.0/server.js (Application)
    -> ❌ marked-0.3.5/lib/marked.js (Vulnerable Component)

Vulnerability Details

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.
Mend Note: The description of this vulnerability differs from MITRE.
