Short explanation

The IsSafeURL function in the gomarkdown/markdown library slices URL paths before checking their length, triggering a slice-bounds panic on short URLs and leading to a denial of service (DoS).

Why does it matter?

Services rendering untrusted Markdown with the html.Safelink flag or applications directly calling IsSafeURL are vulnerable to unrecoverable crashes.

What should be done?

  • Move the slice operation inside the length guard
  • Use bytes.HasPrefix which is length-safe
  • Follow vendor advisories for updates
Chain of evidence and sources2 verified claims

IsSafeURL fonksiyonu, url[:nPath] ifadesini nLink >= nPath kontrolünden önce değerlendirerek kısa URL'lerde dilimleme paniğine yol açar.

html.Safelink bayrağı etkinken boş veya çok kısa bağlantı hedefleri içeren girdiler işlendiğinde kurtarılamayan bir çökme DoS durumu oluşur.

Show the technical text from the sources

The package github.com/gomarkdown/markdown is a Go library for parsing Markdown text and rendering as HTML. Prior to 0.0.0-20260724235538-61af6e1e6971, parser.IsSafeURL in parser/parser.go slices url[:nPath] before the len(url) >= nPath guard. A short destination causes a slice-bounds panic when the loop reaches a relative-path prefix for which len(url) < nPath and cap(url) < nPath. The one-byte destination / is an explicit non-panic counterexample because it matches the first valid path and returns before a longer prefix is sliced. Demonstrated panic cases include empty, ., and .. destinations under those conditions. The panic is reachable when markdown.ToHTML renders untrusted Markdown with html.Safelink enabled, including an empty link destination, and is also reachable by callers that pass a short attacker-controlled URL directly to the exported parser.IsSafeURL function. An uncaught panic can terminate the calling process and cause denial of service. This issue is fixed in 0.0.0-20260724235538-61af6e1e6971.
