  - iCalendar is a Ruby library for dealing with iCalendar files in the iCalendar format defined by RFC-5545.
    Starting in version 2.0.0 and prior to version 2.12.2, .ics serialization does not properly sanitize URI
    property values, enabling ICS injection through attacker-controlled input, adding arbitrary calendar lines
    to the output. `Icalendar::Values::Uri` falls back to the raw input string when `URI.parse` fails and
    later serializes it with `value.to_s` without removing or escaping `\r` or `\n` characters. That value is
    embedded directly into the final ICS line by the normal serializer, so a payload containing CRLF can
    terminate the original property and create a new ICS property or component. (It looks like you can inject
    via url, source, image, organizer, attach, attendee, conference, tzurl because of this). Applications that
    generate `.ics` files from partially untrusted metadata are impacted. As a result, downstream calendar
    clients or importers may process attacker-supplied content as if it were legitimate event data, such as
    added attendees, modified URLs, alarms, or other calendar fields. Version 2.12.2 contains a patch for the
    issue. (CVE-2026-33635)
