Summary
Nokogiri is an open source XML and HTML library for the Ruby programming language. Prior to 1.19.4, the NONET parse option, which Nokogiri turns on by default for Nokogiri::XML::Schema (see CVE-2020-26247), was not correctly enforced on the JRuby implementation.
As a result, a schema parsed with default options could still cause external resources to be fetched over the network, potentially enabling SSRF or XXE attacks. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.19.4.
This oversight could allow a specially crafted XML schema to fetch external resources over the network, potentially leading to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) or XML External Entity (XXE) attacks. Red Hat products are not affected by this vulnerability.
Red Hat products use the CRuby (MRI) implementation, where NONET is correctly enforced and external resource fetching is properly blocked. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 4.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
Weakness: CWE-611. Red Hat lists Red Hat 3scale API Management Platform 2; Red Hat Satellite 6 as not affected.
