#265 chore(deps-dev): bump rails-html-sanitizer from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2

Sourced from rails-html-sanitizer's releases.

v1.7.2 / 2026-11-02

• Deciding whether an SVG href or xlink:href is a local reference no longer takes quadratic time.

  PermitScrubber matched the attribute value against a pattern that rescanned the value's whitespace run from every line start, so an all-whitespace value took seconds to scrub. Only Ruby 3.1 and earlier are affected, because Ruby 3.2 introduced linear-time regexp matching. Through PermitScrubber, applications are only affected if the allowed tags are overridden to include an SVG reference element such as use; the default configuration is not affected.

  This change addresses GHSA-cpgf-5mjf-73p7. PermitScrubber now applies the html5lib attribute value rules by calling Loofah::HTML5::Scrub.scrub_attribute_value rather than carrying its own copy. The minimum Loofah dependency is now ~> 2.25, >= 2.25.3.

• rails-html-sanitizer now requires Ruby >= 3.2, because Loofah 2.25.3 requires it.

  The 1.6.x and 1.5.x release branches no longer receive security updates. Every Rails release in security support accepts rails-html-sanitizer 1.7 and requires Ruby >= 3.2.

  Mike Dalessio

• SafeListSanitizer no longer shares a PermitScrubber across calls.

  Previously one sanitizer instance reused a single PermitScrubber, assigning its tags and attributes on every call. Action View memoizes one sanitizer per helper module, so two concurrent sanitize calls with different tags: or attributes: options could interleave and one call could be scrubbed with the other call's allowlist. Each call now builds its own PermitScrubber.

  This change addresses GHSA-h7wh-q2qr-458c.
