Details
When HTML is sanitized using Sanitize's "relaxed" config or a custom config that allows certain elements, some content in a `<math>` or `<svg>` element may not be sanitized correctly even if `math` and `svg` are not in the allowlist. You are likely to be vulnerable to this issue if you use Sanitize's relaxed config or a custom config that allows one or more of the following HTML elements: - `iframe` - `math` - `noembed` - `noframes` - `noscript` - `plaintext` - `script` - `style` - `svg` - `xmp` ### Impact Using carefully crafted input, an attacker may be able to sneak arbitrary HTML through Sanitize, potentially resulting in XSS (cross-site scripting) or other undesired behavior when that HTML is rendered in a browser. ### Releases This problem has been fixed in Sanitize 5.2.1. ### Workarounds If upgrading is not possible, a workaround is to override the default value of Sanitize's `:remove_contents` config option with the following value, which ensures that the contents of `math` and `svg` elements (among others) are removed entirely when those elements are not in the allowlist: ```ruby %w[iframe math noembed noframes noscript plaintext script style svg xmp] ``` For example, if you currently use Sanitize's relaxed config, you can create a custom config object that overrides the default value of `:remove_contents` like this: ```ruby custom_config = Sanitize::Config.merge( Sanitize::Config::RELAXED, :remove_contents => %w[iframe math noembed noframes noscript plaintext script style svg xmp] ) ``` You would then pass this custom config to Sanitize when sanitizing HTML.
