NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby3.4-rails-8.1 package and not the ruby3.4-rails-8.1 package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

Loofah is a general library for manipulating and transforming HTML/XML documents and fragments, built on top of Nokogiri. From 2.25.0 until 2.25.2, Loofah::HTML5::Scrub.allowed_uri? does not reject javascript: URIs whose scheme is split or prefixed with the HTML5 named whitespace character references &Tab; or &NewLine;. CGI.unescapeHTML leaves those references intact, so allowed_uri? reports the URL safe even though a browser decodes and strips the tab or line feed and executes the resulting javascript: URL. This issue affects only callers that pass HTML-encoded strings directly to allowed_uri?; Loofah's default sanitize() path is not affected. This issue is fixed in version 2.25.2.
