Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:
- markdown-it is a Markdown parser. Prior to 14.3.3 and 15.0.3, when the html option or commonmark preset is
enabled and the constructs occur inside a paragraph, attacker-controlled Markdown containing repeated
unterminated inline HTML comments, processing instructions, declarations, or CDATA sections reaches
src/rules_inline/html_inline.ts. Its HTML_TAG_RE match searches the remaining suffix for the appropriate
terminator; when no terminator is present, parsing advances to the next opener and repeats the match over
overlapping input, causing quadratic processing and denial of service through event-loop blocking or an
unresponsive browser main thread. HTML blocks and the default HTML-disabled configuration are not affected
by these payloads. This issue is fixed in versions 14.3.3 and 15.0.3. (CVE-2026-111766)
Solution
Update the kibana-9.3 library and its related packages to version 9.3.8-r7 or later.
