Impact: Potential ReDOS vulnerabilities (exponential and polynomial RegEx backtracking)
oswasp:
If are you are using Highlight.js to highlight user-provided data you are possibly vulnerable. On the client-side (in a browser or Electron environment) risks could include lengthy freezes or crashes... On the server-side infinite freezes could occur... effectively preventing users from accessing your app or service (ie, Denial of Service).
This is an issue with grammars shipped with the parser (and potentially 3rd party grammars also), not the parser itself. If you are using Highlight.js with any of the following grammars you are vulnerable. If you are using
highlightAuto
to detect the language (and have any of these grammars registered) you are vulnerable. Exponential grammars (C, Perl, JavaScript) are auto-registered when using the common grammar subset/libraryrequire('highlight.js/lib/common')
as of 10.4.0 - see https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highlightjs/[email protected]/build/highlight.jsAll versions prior to 10.4.1 are vulnerable, including version 9.18.5.
Grammars with exponential backtracking issues:
And of course any aliases of those languages have the same issue. ie:
hpp
is no safer thancpp
.Grammars with polynomial backtracking issues:
And again: any aliases of those languages have the same issue. ie:
ruby
andrb
share the same ruby issues.Patches

CVE-2020-26237
Impact
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. A malicious HTML code block can be crafted that will result in prototype pollution of the base object's prototype during highlighting. If you allow users to insert custom HTML code blocks into your page/app via parsing Markdown code blocks (or similar) and do not filter the language names the user can provide you may be vulnerable.
The pollution should just be harmless data but this can cause problems for applications not expecting these properties to exist and can result in strange behavior or application crashes, i.e. a potential DOS vector.
If your website or application does not render user provided data it should be unaffected.
Patches
Versions 9.18.2 and 10.1.2 and newer include fixes for this vulnerability. If you are using version 7 or 8 you are encouraged to upgrade to a newer release.
Workarounds
Patch your library
Manually patch your library to create null objects for both
languages
andaliases
:Filter out bad data from end users
Filter the language names that users are allowed to inject into your HTML to guarantee they are valid.
