Sicherheitslücken in showdown

showdown - Stored XSS via Unescaped Table Header ID Attribute Injection

showdown contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the parseHeaders function of src/subParsers/makehtml/tables.js that fails to properly escape table header ID attributes. Attackers can inject arbitrary HTML and script-executing SVG elements through double-quote characters in markdown table headers, achieving stored XSS when untrusted markdown is rendered with the default github flavor configuration.

showdown - Cross-Site Scripting via Unescaped Metadata Title in completeHTMLDocument

showdown contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in metadata title handling that allows attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript. When completeHTMLDocument option is enabled, unescaped less-than and greater-than characters in markdown frontmatter metadata are inserted directly into HTML title tags, enabling attackers to break out of the title context and execute malicious scripts in the rendered page.

Showdownjs Denial of Service

An issue in the anchors subparser of Showdownjs versions <= 2.1.0 could allow a remote attacker to cause denial of service conditions.

Reverse Tabnabbing in showdown

Versions of `showdown` prior to 1.9.1 are vulnerable to [Reverse Tabnabbing](https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Reverse_Tabnabbing). The package uses `target='_blank'` in anchor tags, allowing attackers to access `window.opener` for the original page when opening links. This is commonly used for phishing attacks. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 1.9.1 or later.
