Space bug in `clean_text`

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jun 16, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Apr 13, 2023

Package

cargo ammonia (Rust)

Affected versions

>= 3.0.0, < 3.1.3

Patched versions

3.1.3

Description

An incorrect mapping from HTML specification to ASCII codes was used.
Because HTML treats the Form Feed as whitespace, code like this has an injection bug:

let html = format!("<div title={}>", clean_text(user_supplied_string));

Applications are not affected if they quote their attributes, or if they don't use clean_text at all.
