    <title>GHSA-p67v-3w7g-wjg7 — Nokogiri: Possible Use-After-Free when directly using `NokogirI::XML::XPathContext` beyond document lifetime</title>

<p>### Summary</p>
<p>`Nokogiri::XML::XPathContext` did not keep its source document alive for garbage collection. If an `XPathContext` outlived its document and the document was collected, evaluating an XPath expression could read invalid memory and potentially segfault.</p>
<p>This is only reachable when application code constructs an `XPathContext` directly and lets the document become unreachable while continuing to use the context. The normal `Document#xpath`, `#css`, and related search methods are not affected, and it is not triggerable by malicious document input.</p>
<p>Nokogiri 1.19.4 makes `XPathContext` keep its source document alive for as long as the context exists.</p>
<p>Only the CRuby implementation is affected. JRuby is not affected.</p>
<p>### Severity</p>
<p>The Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as low severity. Reaching it requires an unusual API-usage pattern that does not arise during normal use. The application must construct an `XML::XPathContext` directly and continue using it after allowing its source document to be garbage-collected. Nokogiri 1.19.4 makes this pattern safe with no change to the public API. The context now keeps its source document alive for as long as it exists.</p>
<p>### Mitigation</p>
<p>Upgrade to Nokogiri 1.19.4 or later.</p>
<p>As a workaround, ensure the source document remains referenced for as long as any `XPathContext` created from it is in use. The standard `Document#xpath`, `#css`, and related search methods already do this and are unaffected.</p>
