Loofah::HTML5::Scrub.scrub_css
is more consistent in preserving whitespace (and lack of whitespace) in CSS property values. In particular,.scrub_css
no longer inserts whitespace between tokens that did not already have whitespace between them. [#273, fixes #271]
- Quash "instance variable not initialized" warning in Ruby < 3.0. [#268] (Thanks, @dharamgollapudi!)
- Update the dependency on Nokogiri to be
>= 1.12.0
. The dependency in 2.21.0 and 2.21.1 was left at>= 1.5.9
but versions before 1.12 would result in aNameError
exception. [#266]
- Don't define
HTML5::Document
andHTML5::DocumentFragment
when Nokogiri is< 1.14
. In 2.21.0 these classes were defined wheneverNokogiri::HTML5
was defined, but Nokogiri v1.12 and v1.13 do not support Loofah subclassing properly.
Classes Loofah::HTML5::Document
and Loofah::HTML5::DocumentFragment
are introduced, along with helper methods:
Loofah.html5_document
Loofah.html5_fragment
Loofah.scrub_html5_document
Loofah.scrub_html5_fragment
These classes and methods use Nokogiri's HTML5 parser to ensure modern web standards are used.
⚠ HTML5 functionality is only available with Nokogiri v1.14.0 and higher.
⚠ HTML5 functionality is not available for JRuby. Please see this upstream Nokogiri issue if you're interested in helping implement and support HTML5 support.
Loofah::HTML
has been renamed to Loofah::HTML4
, and Loofah::HTML
is aliased to preserve backwards-compatibility. Nokogiri::HTML
and Nokogiri::HTML4
parse methods still use libxml2's (or NekoHTML's) HTML4 parser.
Take special note that if you rely on the class name of an object in your code, objects will now report a class of Loofah::HTML4::Foo
where they previously reported Loofah::HTML::Foo
. Instead of relying on the string returned by Object#class
, prefer Class#===
or Object#is_a?
or Object#instance_of?
.
Future releases of Nokogiri may deprecate HTML
classes and methods or otherwise change this behavior, so please start using HTML4
in place of HTML
.
This version introduces official support for JRuby. Previously, the test suite had never been green due to differences in behavior in the underlying HTML parser used by Nokogiri. We've updated the test suite to accommodate those differences, and have added JRuby to the CI suite.

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 #154
The mailing list is now on Google Groups #146:
This change was made because librelist no longer appears to be maintained.
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.
