Download: https://rubygems.org/gems/redcarpet
Description: Markdown to (X)HTML parser
Fix:
https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet/commit/e5a10516d07114d582d13b9125b733008c61c242
This fix is included in Redcarpet 3.2.3.
Initial research suggests this issue affects:
* https://github.com/vmg/sundown 1.16.0 (last version before the library
was deprecated)
* https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet 3.2.2
* https://github.com/hoedown/hoedown 3.0.1
It also affects other (less popular) libraries based off of sundown,
including:
* https://github.com/benmills/robotskirt 2.7.1
* https://github.com/FSX/misaka 1.0.2
* https://github.com/chobie/php-sundown 0.3.11
Users of these libraries may be vulnerable if the autolink extension is
enabled.
