    Package        : ruby-sanitize     Version        : 4.6.6-2.1~deb10u2     CVE ID         : CVE-2023-36823     Debian Bug     : 1041430

    It was discovered that there was a potential cross-site scripting     (XSS) in ruby-sanitize, a whitelist-based HTML sanitizer.

    Using carefully crafted input, an attacker may have be able to sneak     arbitrary HTML and CSS through Sanitize when configured to use the     built-in relaxed config or when using a custom config that allowed     style elements and one or more CSS at-rules. This could have     resulted in cross-site scripting (XSS) or other undesired behavior     if the malicious HTML and CSS were then rendered in a browser.

    For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version     4.6.6-2.1~deb10u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-sanitize packages.

    For the detailed security status of ruby-sanitize please refer to     its security tracker page at:
