Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Flavorjones Loofah up to 2.25.1. Affected by this issue is an unknown code of the component HTML5 Sanitizer. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cross-domain policy vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-942. The product uses a cross-domain policy file that includes domains that should not be trusted. Impacted is confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Loofah is a general library for manipulating and transforming HTML/XML documents and fragments, built on top of Nokogiri. Prior to 2.25.2, Loofah's HTML5 sanitizer applies its local-reference restriction only to the xlink:href attribute on SVG use and feImage elements, while browsers also accept the plain href attribute. A crafted sanitized SVG can therefore reference an arbitrary same-origin external document; use may render external SVG content containing scripts or other dangerous content, and feImage may load external images for tracking. Applications that sanitize user-supplied SVG with Loofah's default allowlist are affected. This issue is fixed in version 2.25.2.
