GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

GSD-2022-23519

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2022-12-13 00:00
Details
## Summary There is a possible XSS vulnerability with certain configurations of Rails::Html::Sanitizer. - Versions affected: ALL - Not affected: NONE - Fixed versions: 1.4.4 ## Impact A possible XSS vulnerability with certain configurations of Rails::Html::Sanitizer may allow an attacker to inject content if the application developer has overridden the sanitizer's allowed tags in either of the following ways: - allow both "math" and "style" elements, - or allow both "svg" and "style" elements Code is only impacted if allowed tags are being overridden. Applications may be doing this in four different ways: 1. using application configuration: ```ruby # In config/application.rb config.action_view.sanitized_allowed_tags = ["math", "style"] # or config.action_view.sanitized_allowed_tags = ["svg", "style"] ``` see https://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#configuring-action-view 2. using a `:tags` option to the Action View helper `sanitize`: ``` <%= sanitize @comment.body, tags: ["math", "style"] %> <%# or %> <%= sanitize @comment.body, tags: ["svg", "style"] %> ``` see https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/SanitizeHelper.html#method-i-sanitize 3. using Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer class method `allowed_tags=`: ```ruby # class-level option Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.allowed_tags = ["math", "style"] # or Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.allowed_tags = ["svg", "style"] ``` 4. using a `:tags` options to the Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer instance method `sanitize`: ```ruby # instance-level option Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.new.sanitize(@article.body, tags: ["math", "style"]) # or Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.new.sanitize(@article.body, tags: ["svg", "style"]) ``` All users overriding the allowed tags by any of the above mechanisms to include (("math" or "svg") and "style") should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately. ## Workarounds Remove "style" from the overridden allowed tags, or remove "math" and "svg" from the overridden allowed tags.
