Possible XSS vulnerability in ActionView
There is a possible XSS vulnerability in ActionView's JavaScript literal
escape helpers. Views that use the j or escape_javascript methods
may be susceptible to XSS attacks.
Versions Affected: All.
Not affected: None.
Fixed Versions: 6.0.2.2, 5.2.4.2
Impact
There is a possible XSS vulnerability in the j and escape_javascript
methods in ActionView. These methods are used for escaping JavaScript string
literals. Impacted code will look something like this:
Potential remote code execution of user-provided local names in ActionView
There was a vulnerability in versions of Rails prior to 5.0.1 that would
allow an attacker who controlled the locals argument of a render call.
Versions Affected: rails < 5.0.1
Not affected: Applications that do not allow users to control the names of locals.
Fixed Versions: 4.2.11.2
Impact
In the scenario where an attacker might be able to control the name of a
local passed into render, they can acheive remote code execution.
Workarounds
Until such time as the patch can be applied, application developers should
ensure that all user-provided local names are alphanumeric.
CSRF Vulnerability in rails-ujs
There is an vulnerability in rails-ujs that allows attackers to send
CSRF tokens to wrong domains.
Versions Affected: rails <= 6.0.3
Not affected: Applications which don't use rails-ujs.
Fixed Versions: rails >= 5.2.4.3, rails >= 6.0.3.1
Impact
This is a regression of CVE-2015-1840.
In the scenario where an attacker might be able to control the href attribute of an anchor tag or
the action attribute of a form tag that will trigger a POST action, the attacker can set the
href or action to a cross-origin URL, and the CSRF token will be sent.
Workarounds
To work around this problem, change code that allows users to control the href attribute of an anchor
Potential XSS vulnerability in Action View
There is a potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Action
View's translation helpers. Views that allow the user to control the
default (not found) value of the t and translate helpers could be
susceptible to XSS attacks.
Impact
When an HTML-unsafe string is passed as the default for a missing
translation key named html or ending in _html,
the default string is incorrectly marked as HTML-safe and not escaped.
Vulnerable code may look like the following examples:

Critical severity vulnerability that affects actionview
Denial of Service Vulnerability in Action View
Impact
Specially crafted accept headers can cause the Action View template location
code to consume 100% CPU, causing the server unable to process requests. This
impacts all Rails applications that render views.
All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the
workarounds immediately.
Releases
The 6.0.0.beta3, 5.2.2.1, 5.1.6.2, 5.0.7.2, and 4.2.11.1 releases are
available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
This vulnerability can be mitigated by wrapping render calls with
respond_to blocks. For example, the following example is vulnerable:

File Content Disclosure in Action View
Impact
There is a possible file content disclosure vulnerability in Action View.
Specially crafted accept headers in combination with calls to render file:
can cause arbitrary files on the target server to be rendered, disclosing the
file contents.
The impact is limited to calls to render which render file contents without
a specified accept format. Impacted code in a controller looks something like
this:
class UserController < ApplicationController
def index
render file: "#{Rails.root}/some/file"
end
end
Denial of Service Vulnerability in Action View
There is a potential denial of service vulnerability in actionview.
This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2019-5419.
Impact
Specially crafted accept headers can cause the Action View template location
code to consume 100% CPU, causing the server unable to process requests. This
impacts all Rails applications that render views.
All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the
workarounds immediately.
Workarounds
This vulnerability can be mitigated by wrapping render calls with
respond_to blocks. For example, the following example is vulnerable:
class UserController < ApplicationController
def index
