| Package | Affected versions | Patched versions |
|---|---|---|
| markdown2 | < 2.3.6 | 2.3.6 |
| python-markdown2 | ≤ 2.3.5 |
An issue was discovered in markdown2 (aka python-markdown2) through 2.3.5. The safe_mode feature, which is supposed to sanitize user input against XSS, is flawed and does not escape the input properly. With a crafted payload, XSS can be triggered, as demonstrated by omitting the final > character from an IMG tag.
