CVE-2020-15169 - Medium Severity Vulnerability
Simple, battle-tested conventions and helpers for building web pages.
Library home page: https://rubygems.org/gems/actionview-5.2.3.gem
Dependency Hierarchy: - rails-5.2.3.gem (Root Library) - :x: **actionview-5.2.3.gem** (Vulnerable Library)
Found in base branch: master
In Action View before versions 5.2.4.4 and 6.0.3.3 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. 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. This is patched in versions 6.0.3.3 and 5.2.4.4. A workaround without upgrading is proposed in the source advisory.
