2.2.3 / 2018-10-30¶ ↑

Security¶ ↑

Address CVE-2018-16468: Unsanitized JavaScript may occur in sanitized output when a crafted SVG element is republished.

This CVE's public notice is at github.com/flavorjones/loofah/issues/154

Meta / 2018-10-27¶ ↑

The mailing list is now on Google Groups #146:

• Mail: loofah-talk@googlegroups.com

• Archive: groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/loofah-talk

This change was made because librelist no longer appears to be maintained.

2.2.2 / 2018-03-22¶ ↑

Make public Loofah::HTML5::Scrub.force_correct_attribute_escaping!, which was previously a private method. This is so that downstream gems (like rails-html-sanitizer) can use this logic directly for their own attribute scrubbers should they need to address CVE-2018-8048.

2.2.1 / 2018-03-19¶ ↑

1.2.1 (2012-04-14)¶ ↑

Notes:¶ ↑

• Moved ActiveRecord functionality into loofah-activerecord gem.

• Removed DEPRECATIONS.rdoc documenting 0.3.0 API changes.

0.4.7 (2010-03-09)¶ ↑

Enhancements:¶ ↑

• New methods Loofah::TextBehavior#to_text and Loofah::TextBehavior#to_text do the right thing with whitespace. Note that these methods are significantly slower than text. GH #12

• Loofah::Elements::BLOCK_LEVEL contains a canonical list of HTML4 block-level4 elements.

• Loofah::TextBehavior#text and Loofah::TextBehavior#text will return unescaped HTML entities by passing :encode_special_chars => false.

0.4.4, 0.4.5, 0.4.6 (2010-02-01)¶ ↑

Enhancements:¶ ↑

• Loofah::TextBehavior#text and Loofah::TextBehavior#text now escape HTML entities.

• Implemented Node#scrub! for scrubbing subtrees.

• Implemented NodeSet#scrub! for scrubbing a set of subtrees.
