CVE-2026-61847

Impact

When the :preserve_comments option is not enabled (which is the default behavior), Crass discards CSS comments by recursively consuming the next token. An attacker who provides a stylesheet containing a very large number of adjacent comments can cause excessive recursion and trigger a SystemStackError.

Patches

This is fixed in Crass 1.0.7, which no longer recurses when discarding comments.

Workarounds

Set the :preserve_comments option to true if this is acceptable to your use case (recursion doesn't occur when comments are preserved).

Crass is a pure Ruby CSS parser based on the CSS Syntax Level 3 spec.

Security Fix(es):

Crass is a Ruby CSS parser that is compliant with the CSS Syntax Level 3 specification. Prior to 1.0.8, Crass incorrectly treats a closing parenthesis after an escaped backslash as escaped while consuming the remnants of a bad URL. Crass therefore keeps declarations, style rules, or at-rules inside a bad URL token even though a browser treats them as live CSS. A sanitizer that parses untrusted CSS with Crass and reserializes it without rejecting the bad URL can allow CSS used for UI redress, external resource loading, or CSS-based data exfiltration, but this issue does not enable script execution in modern browsers. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.8.(CVE-2026-116695)

Crass is a Ruby CSS parser that's fully compliant with the CSS Syntax Level 3 specification. Prior to 1.0.7, Crass recursively parses CSS simple blocks and functions without a depth guard. An attacker-controlled CSS value containing deeply nested blocks or functions can recurse until Ruby raises SystemStackError: stack level too deep, or cause excessive memory usage. Version 1.0.7 adds a configurable depth limit with a conservative default. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.7.(CVE-2026-61846)

Crass is a Ruby CSS parser that's fully compliant with the CSS Syntax Level 3 specification. Prior to 1.0.7, when Crass parses input containing non-ASCII characters, inefficiencies in tracking the positions of multi-byte characters result in superlinear parsing time. An attacker-controlled CSS input consisting of many non-ASCII characters can therefore cause excessive CPU consumption and potentially denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.7.(CVE-2026-61848)
