Summary
Nokogiri is an open source XML and HTML library for the Ruby programming language. Prior to 1.19.5, the CRuby native extension can leave Ruby wrappers pointing to freed memory when Nokogiri::XML::Node#[]= or Nokogiri::XML::Node#lang= replaces an existing attribute value after code has accessed the attribute's child nodes. Replacing the value frees native child nodes while their wrappers remain reachable, and later use of those wrappers can cause an invalid read or process segfault. JRuby is not affected. This issue is fixed in version 1.19.5.

Check your systems with an agent
Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-126064 (Nokogiri: Possible Use-After-Free when setting an attribute value via `Nokogiri::XML::Node#[]=` or `#lang=`), using the cve.now data below. Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only. What cve.now has for CVE-2026-126064 (entry last updated 2026-11-10): Affected: - sparklemotion nokogiri: fixed in 1.19.5 - RubyGems package nokogiri: fixed in 1.19.5 Fixed versions: 1.19.5. Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory. CISA KEV: CVE-2026-126064 is not listed as of cve.now's last read. This KEV status is for CVE-2026-126064 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one. How to check: - Packages (RubyGems): find every lockfile in each project and run check_stack from the cve.now MCP server on each one. Compare the resolved versions, not the ranges a manifest declares, with the affected versions above. Include transitive dependencies. Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one: - https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/security/advisories/GHSA-3w22-6jfg-527w - https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/pull/3752 - https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/commit/b15b518db9fd15fd6b046f73d1439c282e5cc425 - https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/commit/feaed3c8c9bd9d81d064d4ca09b16044cd705d6f - https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/releases/tag/v1.19.5 Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing. Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action. Entry: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-126064 For follow-up questions, use the cve.now MCP server at https://mcp.cve.now/mcp (no authentication), for example get_vulnerability with id CVE-2026-126064.
