Cross-Site Scripting in ngx-md

Description

Versions of ngx-md prior to 6.0.3 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. Links are not properly restricted to http/https and can contain JavaScript which may lead to arbitrary code execution. Markdown input such as Click Me is rendered as a Click Me link that executes JavaScript.

Recommendation

Update the ngx-md package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

• Affected version(s): < 6.0.3
• Patched version(s): 6.0.3
