# Exponential event growth with \`ENABLE_WIKILINKS\`

Advisory record · `RUSTSEC-2026-0414`

- **Identifiers:** `RUSTSEC-2026-0414`
- **State:** Confirmed
- **Severity:** CVSS 7.5 High
- **Critical:** No
- **Published:** 18 Oct 2026
- **Updated:** 28 Oct 2026
- **Reviewed by a person:** No

Published by OSV at 18 Oct 2026, 12:00 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `pulldown-cmark` (crates.io): affected `>=0.13.0, <0.13.5`; fixed in `0.13.5`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> The pulldown-cmark crate, versions 0.13.0 up to but not including 0.13.5, is vulnerable when the ENABLE_WIKILINKS option is on, including when all options are enabled. A wikilink with a pipe and empty display text, such as \[\[a|\]\], makes the number of parser events roughly double for the rest of the document, so a few kilobytes of untrusted Markdown can exhaust memory in an application that collects or renders the events. Upgrade to pulldown-cmark 0.13.5 or later. Turning off ENABLE_WIKILINKS, which is off by default, also avoids the problem.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/RUSTSEC-2026-0414>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
