      <title>CVE-2023-26485 — Quadratic complexity may lead to a denial of service in cmark-gfm</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/cve-2023-26485</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; github cmark-gfm&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cmark-gfm is GitHub&amp;#39;s fork of cmark, a CommonMark parsing and rendering library and program in C. A polynomial time complexity issue in cmark-gfm may lead to unbounded resource exhaustion and subsequent denial of service. This CVE covers quadratic complexity issues when parsing text which leads with either large numbers of `_` characters. This issue has been addressed in version 0.29.0.gfm.10. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should validate that their input comes from trusted sources.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Impact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A polynomial time complexity issue in cmark-gfm may lead to unbounded resource exhaustion and subsequent denial of service.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Proof of concept&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;```
$ ~/cmark-gfm$ python3 -c &amp;#39;pad = &amp;#34;_&amp;#34; * 100000; print(pad + &amp;#34;.&amp;#34; + pad, end=&amp;#34;&amp;#34;)&amp;#39; | time ./build/src/cmark-gfm --to plaintext
```&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Increasing the number 10000 in the above commands causes the running time to increase quadratically.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Patches&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This vulnerability have been patched in 0.29.0.gfm.10.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Note on cmark and cmark-gfm&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;XXX: TBD&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[cmark-gfm](https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm) is a fork of [cmark](https://github.com/commonmark/cmark) that adds the GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions. The two codebases have diverged over time, but share a common core. These bugs affect both `cmark` and `cmark-gfm`.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Credit&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We would like to thank @gravypod for reporting this vulnerability.&lt;/p&gt;
