CVE-2026-2327

5.5 mediumEPSS 0.7%

Medium (5.5) in markdown-it project markdown-it. EPSS 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in markdown-it 14.1.1.

Versions of the package markdown-it from 13.0.0 and before 14.1.1 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) due to the use of the regex /\*+$/ in the linkify function. An attacker can supply a long sequence of * characters followed by a non-matching character, which triggers excessive backtracking and may lead to a denial-of-service condition.
