A dependency of Nokogiri, libxslt through 1.1.33 allows bypass of a protection mechanism because callers of `xsltCheckRead` and `xsltCheckWrite` permit access even upon receiving a `-1` error code. `xsltCheckRead` can return `-1` for a crafted URL that is not actually invalid and is subsequently loaded.
Update nokogiri to 1.10.3 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

hol-guard supply-chain scanNokogiri vulnerable to libxslt protection mechanism bypass affects nokogiri (rubygems). Severity is critical. A dependency of Nokogiri, libxslt through 1.1.33 allows bypass of a protection mechanism because callers of `xsltCheckRead` and `xsltCheckWrite` permit access even upon receiving a `-1` error code. `xsltCheckRead` can return `-1` for a crafted URL that is not actually invalid and is subsequently loaded.
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in rubygems. A critical vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
