Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Loofah is a general library for manipulating and transforming HTML/XML documents and fragments, built on
top of Nokogiri. Loofah >= 2.2.0, < 2.19.1 uses recursion for sanitizing CDATA sections, making it
susceptible to stack exhaustion and raising a SystemStackError exception. This may lead to a denial of

upgrade may be able to mitigate this vulnerability by limiting the length of the strings that are
sanitized. (CVE-2022-23516)
