mdex_native is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS)

mdex_nativeTL;DR
mdex_native is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting when rendering Markdown with syntax highlighting and full info-string forwarding enabled (render: [full_info_string: true]). The Lumis adapter (LumisAdapter::parse_custom_attributes in lumis_adapter.rs) copies the highlight_lines_class value from a fenced code block's info string verbatim into the class attribute of each highlighted line without HTML escaping. An attacker who controls the Markdown can use a shlex-quoted payload such as '"> alert(1) ' to terminate the attribute early and inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript that runs in every viewer's browser.

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