There is an XSS vulnerability in the strip_tags helper in Ruby on Rails, the helper does not correctly handle malformed html. As a result, an attacker can execute arbitrary javascript through the use of specially crafted malformed html. All users who rely on strip_tags for XSS protection should upgrade or use the work around immediately.
