| 7 | +description: | |
| 8 | + There is a possible XSS vulnerability with certain configurations of Rails::Html::Sanitizer. |
| 9 | + This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2022-32209. |
| 10 | +
|
| 11 | + Versions Affected: ALL |
| 12 | + Not affected: NONE |
| 13 | + Fixed Versions: v1.4.3 |
| 14 | +
|
| 15 | + ## Impact |
| 16 | +
|
| 17 | + A possible XSS vulnerability with certain configurations of |
| 18 | + Rails::Html::Sanitizer may allow an attacker to inject content if the |
| 19 | + application developer has overridden the sanitizer's allowed tags to allow |
| 20 | + both `select` and `style` elements. |
| 21 | +
|
| 22 | + Code is only impacted if allowed tags are being overridden. This may be done via application configuration: |
| 23 | +
|
| 24 | + ```ruby |
| 25 | + # In config/application.rb |
| 26 | + config.action_view.sanitized_allowed_tags = ["select", "style"] |
| 27 | + ``` |
| 28 | +
|
| 29 | + see https://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#configuring-action-view |
| 30 | +
|
| 31 | + Or it may be done with a `:tags` option to the Action View helper `sanitize`: |
| 32 | +
|
| 33 | + ``` |
| 34 | + <%= sanitize @comment.body, tags: ["select", "style"] %> |
| 35 | + ``` |
| 36 | +
|
| 37 | + see https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/SanitizeHelper.html#method-i-sanitize |
| 38 | +
|
| 39 | + Or it may be done with Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer directly: |
| 40 | +
|
| 41 | + ```ruby |
| 42 | + # class-level option |
| 43 | + Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.allowed_tags = ["select", "style"] |
| 44 | + ``` |
| 45 | +
|
| 46 | + or |
| 47 | +
|
| 48 | + ```ruby |
| 49 | + # instance-level option |
| 50 | + Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.new.sanitize(@article.body, tags: ["select", "style"]) |
| 51 | + ``` |
| 52 | +
|
| 53 | + All users overriding the allowed tags by any of the above mechanisms to include both "select" and "style" should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately. |
| 54 | +
|
| 55 | + ## Releases |
| 56 | +
|
| 57 | + The FIXED releases are available at the normal locations. |
| 58 | +
|
| 59 | + ## Workarounds |
| 60 | +
|
| 61 | + Remove either `select` or `style` from the overridden allowed tags. |
