Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Caido, a web security auditing toolkit, where the Markdown renderer on the Findings page improperly handled user-supplied Markdown. This allowed attacker-controlled links to be rendered without user confirmation. When a user opened a finding generated by the scanner or other plugins, clicking these malicious links could redirect the application to an attacker-controlled domain, enabling phishing-style attacks. The issue was fixed in version 0.53.0.
