In Sanitize (RubyGem sanitize) greater than or equal to 3.0.0 and less than 5.2.1, there is a cross-site scripting vulnerability. When HTML is sanitized using Sanitize's "relaxed" config, or a custom config that allows certain elements, some content in a math or svg element may not be sanitized correctly even if math and svg are not in the allowlist. You are likely to be vulnerable to this issue if you use Sanitize's relaxed config or a custom config that allows one or more of the following HTML elements: iframe, math, noembed, noframes, noscript, plaintext, script, style, svg, xmp. Using carefully crafted input, an attacker may be able to sneak arbitrary HTML through Sanitize, potentially resulting in XSS (cross-site scripting) or other undesired behavior when that HTML is rendered in a browser. This has been fixed in 5.2.1.

Created rubygem-rails-html-sanitizer tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: fedora-all [bug 1849073]
This CVE Bugzilla entry is for community support informational purposes only as it does not affect a package in a commercially supported Red Hat product. Refer to the dependent bugs for status of those individual community products.
I wonder, what was the reason to report this against rails-html-saitizer, because the original description describes something completely different. But possibly, the issue could have been: https://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-RUBY-RAILSHTMLSANITIZER-22025 However, this was resolved as CVE-2018-3741.
This was very likely misreported.
Sorry, wanted to change the Fedora tracker ...
