CVE-2026-71439

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Mermaid is a JavaScript tool that uses Markdown-inspired text to create and modify diagrams and charts. From version 11.6.0 until 11.16.1, Mermaid Radar Diagrams allow arbitrary large values for the ticks parameter, which can cause high CPU usage and freeze the rendering webpage or JavaScript process for long periods of time, potentially until the process is killed from memory exhaustion. This issue is fixed in version 11.16.1.

Desde la versión 11.6.0 hasta la 11.16.1, los diagramas de radar de Mermaid permiten valores arbitrariamente grandes para el parámetro ticks, lo que puede causar un alto uso de CPU y congelar la página web de renderizado o el proceso de JavaScript durante largos períodos de tiempo, potencialmente hasta que el proceso sea terminado por agotamiento de memoria. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 11.16.1."
