CVE-2026-126207 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.7 · Published 2026-11-12

Loofah is a Ruby library that sanitizes HTML and CSS to prevent malicious content. An attacker can bypass the CSS sanitization by using escaped characters to hide url() functions, allowing them to inject requests to attacker-controlled URLs. When a user views sanitized HTML containing this attack, their browser makes unauthorized requests that leak IP address, user agent, and can reach internal network hosts.

How to fix

Technical details

The vulnerability is a validation-bypass in Loofah::HTML5::Scrub.scrub_css that checks CSS only once before decoding escapes. Escaped parentheses (url\28 …\29) hide the url token from initial checks, but after rebuilding with decoded escapes, the resulting url() is re-parsed without sanitization. Attack vectors include list-style (automatic fetch on render) and cursor (fetch on hover), requiring only that a user view the malicious HTML—no user interaction for list-style or additional interaction for cursor beyond hovering.
