Rails has a possible XSS vulnerability in its Action View tag helpers
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
Impact
When a blank string is used as an HTML attribute name in Action View tag helpers, the attribute escaping is bypassed, producing malformed HTML. A carefully crafted attribute value could then be misinterpreted by the browser as a separate attribute name, possibly leading to XSS. Applications that allow users to specify custom HTML attributes are affected.
Releases
The fixed releases are available at the normal locations.
