QFinch assessment

## CVE-2019-10010

Potential impact

In league/commonmark 0.18.2 and below, malicious users can insert double-encoded HTML entities into their Markdown like this: This library would (correctly) unescape the & entity to & during the parsing step. However, the renderer step would fail to properly re-escape the resulting : string, thus producing the following malicious HTML output: Browsers would interpret : as a : character and allow the JS to be executed when the link is clicked. This vulnerability was present in the upstream library this project was forked from and therefore exists in all prior versions of league/commonmark.
