      "value": "Loofah is a general library for manipulating and transforming HTML/XML documents and fragments, built on top of Nokogiri. From 2.25.0 until 2.25.2, Loofah::HTML5::Scrub.allowed_uri? does not reject javascript: or vbscript: URIs whose scheme is split by semicolon-less numeric character references such as &#58, &#9, &#10, or &#13. CGI.unescapeHTML leaves these references encoded, so allowed_uri? reports the URL safe even though a browser decodes an encoded colon or strips encoded whitespace and executes the resulting URI scheme. This issue affects only callers that pass HTML-encoded strings directly to allowed_uri?; Loofah's default sanitize() path is not affected. This issue is fixed in version 2.25.2."

Desde la versión 2.25.0 hasta la 2.25.2, Loofah::HTML5::Scrub.allowed_uri? no rechaza URIs javascript_disabled: o vbscript: cuyo esquema está dividido por referencias de caracteres numéricos sin punto y coma como  y #58,  y #9,  y #10, o  y #13. CGI.unescapeHTML deja estas referencias codificadas, por lo que allowed_uri? informa que la URL es segura a pesar de que un navegador decodifica un colon codificado o elimina espacios en blanco codificados y ejecuta el esquema URI resultante. Este problema afecta solo a los llamadores que pasan cadenas codificadas en HTML directamente a allowed_uri?; la ruta sanitize() predeterminada de Loofah no se ve afectada. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 2.25.2."
