Code that uses KaTeX's trust option, specifically that provides a function to block-list certain URL protocols, can be fooled by URLs in malicious inputs that use uppercase characters in the protocol. In particular, this can allow for malicious input to generate
javascript:links in the output, even if thetrustfunction tries to forbid this protocol viatrust: (context) => context.protocol !== 'javascript'.CVE-2024-28246
CWE-184
