Antes de la versión 3.3.0, HTMLRenderer.safe_url() no bloquea las URIs de javascript codificadas por porcentaje, lo que permite que los enlaces o imágenes de Markdown proporcionados por el atacante eludan las protecciones de URL y ejecuten scripts en el HTML renderizado. Este problema se corrigió en la versión 3.3.0."
