Astro: XSS via unescaped code for unsupported languages in @astrojs/prism

publishedCWE-79

Astro is a web framework for content-driven websites. Prior to @astrojs/prism 4.1.2, and from @astrojs/markdoc 0.3.0 until 2.1.2, runHighlighterWithAstro() returned code unchanged when Prism had no grammar for the requested language, and callers inserted that result as raw HTML. A code block labeled with an unsupported language could therefore render embedded HTML and script instead of displaying it as text. The Prism component was affected when applications supplied untrusted code with an unsupported or attacker-controlled lang, and the @astrojs/markdoc prism() extension was affected for less-trusted content authors even when Markdoc's ordinary HTML rendering was disabled. This issue is fixed in @astrojs/prism 4.1.2 and @astrojs/markdoc 2.1.2.
