certain function is used.

Background
==========

Nokogiri is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser.

Affected packages
=================

——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-

Description
===========

A command injection vulnerability in Nokogiri allows commands to be
executed in a subprocess by Ruby’s Kernel.open method. Processes are
vulnerable only if the undocumented method

privileges of the process.

Workaround
==========

Avoid calling the undocumented method
Nokogiri::CSS::Tokenizer#load_file with untrusted user input.
