Possible XSS Vulnerability in Action Controller
medium severity CVE-2024-26143~> 7.0.8, >= 7.0.8.1
, >= 7.1.3.1
< 7.0.0
There is a possible XSS vulnerability when using the translation helpers
(translate
, t
, etc) in Action Controller. This vulnerability has been
assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-26143.
Versions Affected: >= 7.0.0 Not affected: < 7.0.0 Fixed Versions: 7.1.3.1, 7.0.8.1
Impact
Applications using translation methods like translate
, or t
on a
controller, with a key ending in “_html”, a :default
key which contains
untrusted user input, and the resulting string is used in a view, may be
susceptible to an XSS vulnerability.
For example, impacted code will look something like this:
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
def show
@message = t("message_html", default: untrusted_input)
# The `show` template displays the contents of `@message`
end
end
To reiterate the pre-conditions, applications must:
- Use a translation function from a controller (i.e. not
I18n.t
, ort
from a view) - Use a key that ends in
_html
- Use a default value where the default value is untrusted and unescaped input
- Send the text to the victim (whether that’s part of a template, or a
render
call)
All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.

Possible XSS via User Supplied Values to redirect_to
medium severity CVE-2023-28362~> 6.1.7.4
, >= 7.0.5.1
The redirect_to method in Rails allows provided values to contain characters which are not legal in an HTTP header value. This results in the potential for downstream services which enforce RFC compliance on HTTP response headers to remove the assigned Location header. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-28362.
Versions Affected: All. Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 7.0.5.1, 6.1.7.4
Impact
This introduces the potential for a Cross-site-scripting (XSS) payload to be delivered on the now static redirection page. Note that this both requires user interaction and for a Rails app to be configured to allow redirects to external hosts (defaults to false in Rails >= 7.0.x).
Releases
The FIXED releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
Avoid providing user supplied URLs with arbitrary schemes to the redirect_to method.
Open Redirect Vulnerability in Action Pack
medium severity CVE-2023-22797>= 7.0.4.1
< 7.0.0
There is a vulnerability in Action Controller’s redirect_to. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-22797.
Versions Affected: >= 7.0.0 Not affected: < 7.0.0 Fixed Versions: 7.0.4.1
Impact
There is a possible open redirect when using the redirect_to helper with untrusted user input.
Vulnerable code will look like this:
redirect_to(params[:some_param])
Rails 7.0 introduced protection against open redirects from calling redirect_to with untrusted user input. In prior versions the developer was fully responsible for only providing trusted input. However the check introduced could be bypassed by a carefully crafted URL.
All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.
Workarounds
There are no feasible workarounds for this issue.
ReDoS based DoS vulnerability in Action Dispatch
low severity CVE-2023-22795~> 5.2.8, >= 5.2.8.15
, ~> 6.1.7, >= 6.1.7.1
, >= 7.0.4.1
There is a possible regular expression based DoS vulnerability in Action Dispatch related to the If-None-Match header. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-22795.
Versions Affected: All Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 5.2.8.15 (Rails LTS), 6.1.7.1, 7.0.4.1
Impact
A specially crafted HTTP If-None-Match header can cause the regular expression engine to enter a state of catastrophic backtracking, when on a version of Ruby below 3.2.0. This can cause the process to use large amounts of CPU and memory, leading to a possible DoS vulnerability All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.
Workarounds
We recommend that all users upgrade to one of the FIXED versions. In the meantime, users can mitigate this vulnerability by using a load balancer or other device to filter out malicious If-None-Match headers before they reach the application.
Users on Ruby 3.2.0 or greater are not affected by this vulnerability.
ReDoS based DoS vulnerability in Action Dispatch
low severity CVE-2023-22792~> 5.2.8, >= 5.2.8.15
, ~> 6.1.7, >= 6.1.7.1
, >= 7.0.4.1
< 3.0.0
There is a possible regular expression based DoS vulnerability in Action Dispatch. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-22792.
Versions Affected: >= 3.0.0 Not affected: < 3.0.0 Fixed Versions: 5.2.8.15 (Rails LTS), 6.1.7.1, 7.0.4.1
Impact
Specially crafted cookies, in combination with a specially crafted X_FORWARDED_HOST header can cause the regular expression engine to enter a state of catastrophic backtracking. This can cause the process to use large amounts of CPU and memory, leading to a possible DoS vulnerability All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.
Workarounds
We recommend that all users upgrade to one of the FIXED versions. In the meantime, users can mitigate this vulnerability by using a load balancer or other device to filter out malicious X_FORWARDED_HOST headers before they reach the application.
