chore(deps-dev): [security] bump marked from 0.3.3 to 0.3.18

[dependabot-preview]

Bumps marked from 0.3.3 to 0.3.18. This update includes security fixes.

Vulnerabilities fixed

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

Moderate severity vulnerability that affects marked 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 NNanything; gets parsed to what it could and leaves the rest behind, resulting in just anything; being left.

Affected versions: < 0.3.6

Sanitization bypass using HTML Entities marked is an application that is meant to parse and compile markdown.

Due to the way that marked 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 NNanything; gets parsed to what it could and leaves the rest behind, resulting in just anything; being left.

For example:

If a malicious user could provide this input to the application javascript֍ocument;alert(1) resulting in a valid link, that when a user clicked it would execute alert(1).

Affected versions: <=0.3.5

Regular Expression Denial of Service Marked 0.3.3 and earlier is vulnerable to regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) when certain types of input are passed in to be parsed.

"The Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) is a Denial of Service attack, that exploits the fact that most Regular Expression implementations may reach extreme situations that cause them to work very slowly (exponentially related to input size). An attacker can then cause a program using a Regular Expression to enter these extreme situations and then hang for a very long time." [1]

Marked's catastrophic backtracking issue for the em inline rule has now been patched in 0.3.4.

Affected versions: <=0.3.3

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

Regular Expression Denial of Service in marked Versions of marked prior to 0.6.2 and later than 0.3.14 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service. Email addresses may be evaluated in quadratic time, allowing attackers to potentially crash the node process due to resource exhaustion.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 0.6.2 or later.

Affected versions: < 0.3.18

Moderate severity vulnerability that affects marked marked version 0.3.6 and earlier is vulnerable to an XSS attack in the data: URI parser.

Affected versions: < 0.3.7

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

High severity vulnerability that affects 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.

Affected versions: <0.3.9

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

Moderate severity vulnerability that affects marked A Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability in the file marked.js of the marked npm package (tested on version 0.3.7) allows a remote attacker to overload and crash a server by passing a maliciously crafted string.

Affected versions: < 0.3.9
