NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-podman-desktop package and not the rh-podman-desktop package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

linkify-it is a links recognition library with full Unicode support. Prior to 5.0.1, LinkifyIt.prototype.match, the package's primary public API, has O(N²) algorithmic complexity for inputs containing many fuzzy links or emails because the JavaScript-level scan loop re-slices input and re-runs unanchored regex searches on progressively shorter tails. Any service that synchronously renders untrusted Markdown with linkify:true on a request hot path can inherit a worker-process denial of service triggerable by a tens-of-KB request body. This issue is fixed in version 5.0.1.
