TL;DR

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) due to inefficient patterns in parse-incomplete-markdown.ts. These expressions allow crafted input to trigger excessive backtracking and degrade performance. The fix removes the vulnerable regexes and replaces them with safer, deterministic string-based parsing logic for handling incomplete links, images, and other partial markdown constructs, eliminating the risk of ReDoS.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
