GMS-2020-368: Denial of Service in markdown-it-toc-and-anchor

September 1, 2020 (updated September 24, 2021)

All versions of markdown-it-toc-and-anchor are vulnerable to Denial of Service. Parsing markdown containing **text**+@[toc] causes the application to enter and infinite loop. No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative module until a fix is made available.
