CVE-2025-45526

2.9 · LOW
Published Jun 17, 2025 CWE-770 EPSS 0.12% (2th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2025-45526 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on June 17, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 2.9 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 2.9, rated LOW. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical 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. NOTE: this is disputed by multiple parties because a large amount of memory and CPU resources is expected to be needed for content of that size.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
