Denial of Service (DoS)

snudown is a placeholder

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) via its reference table implementation. References written in markdown [reference_name]: https://www.example.com are inserted into a hash table which was found to have a weak hash function, meaning that an attacker can reliably generate a large number of collisions for it. This makes the hash table vulnerable to a hash-collision DoS attack, a type of algorithmic complexity attack.

Further the hash table allowed for duplicate entries resulting in long retrieval times.
