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." } ] }, "impact": { "cvss": { "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 5.4, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "LOW", "integrityImpact": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "scope": "CHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N", "version": "3.1" } }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-79 Cross-site Scripting (XSS)" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://github.com/rails/rails/security/advisories/GHSA-cfjv-5498-mph5", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://github.com/rails/rails/security/advisories/GHSA-cfjv-5498-mph5" }, { "refsource": "DEBIAN", "name": "DSA-4766", "url": "https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4766" }, { "refsource": "FEDORA", "name": "FEDORA-2020-4dd34860a3", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/XJ7NUWXAEVRQCROIIBV4C6WXO6IR3KSB/" }, { "refsource": "MLIST", "name": "[debian-lts-announce] 20201009 [SECURITY] [DLA 2403-1] rails security update", "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2020/10/msg00015.html" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-cfjv-5498-mph5", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }
