A bug in the Sundown and Redcarpet markdown parsers may lead to XSS (danlec.com)

No libraries listed on babelmark (or the versions used there) seem to be affected: http://johnmacfarlane.net/babelmark2/?normalize=1&text=_danl...


Redcarpet would only exhibit the bug if the autolink extension were enabled, i.e. if it would render danlec@danlec.com as a link.


Interesting. That makes it much more clearer. I was confused as to why links were being generated without angular brackets being involved.
