CVE-2022-50998

Nokogiri versions prior to 1.13.9 are vulnerable due to the inclusion of libxml2 v2.9.14, which contains critical flaws that can lead to denial of service or memory corruption when processing malicious XML input. Organizations using affected versions of Nokogiri should prioritize upgrading to version 1.13.9 or later to mitigate these high-severity vulnerabilities. This is particularly crucial for applications that handle untrusted XML data, as they are at increased risk of exploitation.
