CVE-2026-126064

Nokogiri: Possible Use-After-Free when setting an attribute value via `Nokogiri::XML::Node#[]=` or `#lang=`

Published Nov 10, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 2 Low EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Nokogiri is an open source XML and HTML library for the Ruby programming language. Prior to 1.19.5, the CRuby native extension can leave Ruby wrappers pointing to freed memory when Nokogiri::XML::Node#[]= or Nokogiri::XML::Node#lang= replaces an existing attribute value after code has accessed the attribute's child nodes. Replacing the value frees native child nodes while their wrappers remain reachable, and later use of those wrappers can cause an invalid read or process segfault. JRuby is not affected. This issue is fixed in version 1.19.5.
