CVE-2026-126207
Description
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::HTML5::Scrub.scrub_css checks only the first parse of a style attribute, then rebuilds CSS with identifier escapes decoded so escaped parentheses, property names, comments, or quotes can become a live url() without a second safety check. An attacker can use list-style to make a viewer's browser request an attacker-chosen URL when content renders, or cursor to make the request on hover. The request can disclose the viewer's IP address, user agent, access timing, and access to internal-network hosts, but no script survives sanitization and the attacker cannot read the response. This issue is fixed in version 2.25.3.
