A possible Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in actionpack gem. The redirect_to method in Rails allows provided values to contain characters which are not legal in an HTTP header value. This results in the potential for downstream services which enforce RFC compliance on HTTP response headers to remove the assigned Location header. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 6.1.7.4 and 7.0.5.1.
