CVE-2025-45526 Information

Description

A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability has been identified in the JavaScript library microlight version 0.0.7. This library used for syntax highlighting does not limit the size of textual content it processes in HTML elements with the microlight class. When excessively large content (e.g. 100 million characters) is processed the reset function in microlight.js consumes excessive memory and CPU resources causing browser crashes or unresponsiveness. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into visiting a malicious web page containing a microlight element with large content resulting in a denial of service.
