CVE-2026-41150: Mermaid Gantt Charts are vulnerable to an Infinite Loop DoS
(updated )
Mermaid v11.14.0 and earlier are vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack when rendering gantt charts, if they use the excludes attribute to exclude all dates.
Example:
gantt
excludes monday,tuesday,wednesday,thursday,friday,saturday,sunday
DoS :2025-01-01, 1d
mermaid.parse is unaffected, unless you then call the ganttDb.getTasks() (which is called when rendering a diagram).
