Nokogiri Improperly Handles Unexpected Data Type

Summary

Nokogiri < v1.13.6 does not type-check all inputs into the XML and HTML4 SAX parsers. For CRuby users, this may allow specially crafted untrusted inputs to cause illegal memory access errors (segfault) or reads from unrelated memory.

Severity

The Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as High 8.2 (CVSS3.1).

Mitigation

CRuby users should upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.13.6.

JRuby users are not affected.

Workarounds

To avoid this vulnerability in affected applications, ensure the untrusted input is a String by calling #to_s or equivalent.
