Mermaid radar diagrams are vulnerable to DoS
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Mermaid radar diagrams allow arbitrary large values for `ticks`, which can cause high CPU usage, freezing the webpage/JavaScript process for long periods of time, until the process is eventually killed due to OOM/running out of memory.
#### Proof-of-concept
```txt
radar-beta
axis a, b
curve c {1, 1}
ticks 1000000000
```
