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.
