Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in Prism
Some languages before 1.24.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS).
Impact
When Prism is used to highlight untrusted (user-given) text, an attacker can craft a string that will take a very very long time to highlight. Do not use the following languages to highlight untrusted text.
ASCIIDoc
ERB
Other languages are not affected and can be used to highlight untrusted text.
Denial of service in prismjs
The package prismjs before 1.23.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the prism-asciidoc, prism-rest, prism-tap and prism-eiffel components.
The easing preview of the Previewers plugin has an XSS vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in Safari and Internet Explorer.
This impacts all Safari and Internet Explorer users of Prism >=v1.1.0 that use the Previewers plugin (>=v1.10.0) or the Previewer: Easing plugin (v1.1.0 to v1.9.0).
Patches
This problem is patched in v1.21.0.
Workarounds
To workaround the issue without upgrading, disable the easing preview on all impacted code blocks. You need Prism v1.10.0 or newer to apply this workaround.
References
The vulnerability was introduced by this commit on Sep 29, 2015 and fixed by Masato Kinugawa (#2506).
