Update meta-marked to latest version
Meta-marked 0.4.4 which we used from our git repository contains a
RegexDOS attack in the marked dependency. The dependency was already
updated in our meta-marked repository, but not updated in yarn.
This made us still vulnerable to this ReDOS which was able to cause a
DOS attack on the server when updating a note.
For Details:
https://github.com/markedjs/marked/releases/tag/v0.7.0

What is a ReDOS?
A ReDOS attack is a DOS attack where an attacker targets a
not-well-written Regular Expression. Regular expressions try to build a
tree of all possibilities it can match in order to figure out if the
given statement is valid or not. A ReDOS attack abuses this concept by
providing a statement that doesn't match but causes extremly huge trees
that simply lead to exhausting CPU usage.

Credit:
Huge thanks to @bitinerant for finding this and handling it with a
responsible disclosure.
Also thanks to the `marked`-team for fixing things already.
