| Description | Loofah is a general library for manipulating and transforming HTML/XML documents and fragments, built on top of Nokogiri. Prior to 2.25.3, the Loofah HTML5 sanitizer checks href and xlink:href on elements in SVG_ALLOW_LOCAL_HREF with a regular expression whose line anchor and newline-matching whitespace cause an all-whitespace value to be rescanned from every line start. An attacker can submit an SVG reference element with a long multiline-whitespace attribute and consume CPU quadratically during sanitization. CRuby 3.1 and earlier and JRuby are affected, while CRuby 3.2 and later uses linear-time regular-expression matching. The default safelist reaches the vulnerable check without a configuration change. This issue is fixed in version 2.25.3. | |
