Technical description

Loofah is a general library for manipulating and transforming HTML/XML documents and fragments, built on top of Nokogiri. From 2.25.0 until 2.25.3, Loofah::HTML5::Scrub.allowed_uri? strips whitespace and control characters before decoding a semicolon-less numeric character reference, changing where the reference ends and hiding a javascript: or vbscript: scheme that a browser reconstructs. The bypass applies to encoded colons and encoded scheme letters when a stripped character terminates the numeric reference. An application that renders the approved value in href or another browser-interpreted URI attribute can allow cross-site scripting, and Rails::HTML::Sanitizer.allowed_uri? re-exports the affected helper. Loofah's default sanitize() path is not affected because Nokogiri decodes entities before URI evaluation. This issue is fixed in version 2.25.3.

———Astro is a web framework for content-driven websites. Prior to @astrojs/prism 4.1.2, and from @astrojs/markdoc 0.3.0 until 2.1.2, runHighlighterWithAstro() returned code unchanged when Prism had no grammar for the requested language, and callers inserted that result as raw HTML. A code block labeled with an unsupported language could therefore render embedded HTML and script instead of displaying it as text. The Prism component was affected when applications supplied untrusted code with an unsupported or attacker-controlled lang, and the @astrojs/markdoc prism() extension was affected for less-trusted content authors even when Markdoc's ordinary HTML rendering was disabled. This issue is fixed in @astrojs/prism 4.1.2 and @astrojs/markdoc 2.1.2.16m CVE-2026-126363—

———Astro is a web framework for content-driven websites. From 0.2.0 until 7.1.2, the @astrojs/solid-js renderer inserted a named slot into the quoted name attribute of an astro-slot wrapper without HTML escaping. A request-controlled slot name containing a quote could terminate the attribute and inject active HTML. Exploitation required a hydrated Solid component using a client:* directive and dynamic access to the attacker-chosen slot property; a component that did not render that slot emitted only escaped fallback content. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.16m CVE-2026-126362—

———Astro is a web framework for content-driven websites. From 5.7.3 until 9.1.2, the @astrojs/svelte renderer inserted a named slot into the quoted name attribute of an astro-slot wrapper without HTML escaping. Request-controlled slot names containing a quote could terminate the attribute and inject active HTML. Exploitation required a hydrated Svelte component using a client:* directive and dynamic rendering of the attacker-chosen slot; components that did not render that slot emitted only Astro's escaped fallback content. Both server rendering and client-side hydration used the unsafe slot name. This issue is fixed in version 9.1.2.16m CVE-2026-126361—

———Astro is a web framework for content-driven websites. Prior to 7.4.5, Astro rendered a string used as a dynamic element name as raw HTML after applying an incomplete character filter. A / in the string could make an HTML parser treat the remainder as attributes, allowing untrusted element-name input to inject event-handler markup. The .astro dynamic-tag renderer, JSX renderer, and MDX renderer were affected, and exploitation required an application to use request-controlled or stored untrusted data as all or part of an element name. This issue is fixed in version 7.4.5.16m CVE-2026-1263593.4 LOW

———Hono is a Web application framework that provides support for any JavaScript runtime. From 3.12.0 until 4.13.16, the css helper in hono/css escapes interpolated string values separately and therefore fails to neutralize a closing style tag when < ends the template text or a preceding value and / begins the next attacker-controlled value. During server-side rendering, the combined output can close the <Style /> element early and cause the remainder of the interpolated value to be interpreted as HTML. Applications that place an untrusted string immediately after < in a css template, including adjacent untrusted interpolations, can expose viewers to attacker-controlled HTML or script and information accessible to that page. Other uses of the css helper are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 4.13.16.16m CVE-2026-1262084.7 MED

———Loofah is a general library for manipulating and transforming HTML/XML documents and fragments, built on top of Nokogiri. Prior to 2.25.3, Loofah's SVG_ALLOW_LOCAL_HREF safelist lists textPath with lowercase spelling that does not match the HTML5 parser's element name and omits mpath, so external href and xlink:href values on those elements survive sanitization. Firefox fetches the attacker-chosen URL when a viewer renders the content, which can disclose the viewer's IP address, user agent, referrer, and access to hosts routable only from the viewer's network. Chrome and WebKit do not fetch these references, and the impact is a network request rather than script execution. The rails-html-sanitizer PermitScrubber reuses the affected safelist when SVG elements are permitted. This issue is fixed in version 2.25.3.2h
