Loofah is a general library for manipulating and transforming HTML/XML documents and fragments, built on top of Nokogiri. In 2.25.2, Loofah::HTML5::Scrub.allowed_uri? treats a data URI mediatype containing the HTML5 named solidus reference / as malformed and falls back to the allowed text/plain, while a browser decodes the reference and interprets the same value as text/html. An application that validates a user-controlled URL with this helper and renders the approved value in href or another browser-interpreted URI attribute can allow cross-site scripting. Rails::HTML::Sanitizer.allowed_uri? re-exports the affected helper. Loofah's default sanitize() path is not affected because Nokogiri decodes the entity before URI validation. This issue is fixed in version 2.25.3.
