Good to know:
Date: May 4, 2021
An issue has been discovered in comrak. The project operates by default in a "safe" mode of operation where unsafe content, such as arbitrary raw HTML or URLs with non-standard schemes, are not permitted in the output. This is per the reference GFM implementation, cmark-gfm. Ampersands were not being correctly escaped in link targets, making it possible to fashion unsafe URLs using schemes like data: or javascript: by entering them as HTML entities, e.g. data:. The intended behavior, demonstrated upstream, is that these should be escaped and therefore harmless, but this behavior was broken in comrak.
