Overview
nokogiri is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser, with the ability to search documents via XPath or CSS3 selectors.
Affected versions of this gem are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution attacks. Nokogiri is affected by series of vulnerabilities in libxml2 and libxslt, which are libraries Nokogiri depends on. libxml2 and libxslt incorrectly handled certain malformed documents, which can allow attackers to perform a Denial of Service or Arbitrary Code Execution attacks.
