GHSA-2j22-pr5w-6gq8: Loofah has improper detection of disallowed URIs via `allowed_uri?`

March 26, 2026

Loofah::HTML5::Scrub.allowed_uri? does not correctly reject javascript: URIs when the scheme is split by HTML entity-encoded control characters such as 
 (carriage return), 
 (line feed), or 	 (tab).
