actionview 6.1.4.6
DOM Based Cross-site Scripting in rails-ujs for contenteditable HTML Elements
high severity CVE-2023-23913~> 6.1.7.3, >= 7.0.4.3
< 5.1.0
NOTE: rails-ujs is part of Rails/actionview since 5.1.0.
There is a potential DOM based cross-site scripting issue in rails-ujs which leverages the Clipboard API to target HTML elements that are assigned the contenteditable attribute. This has the potential to occur when pasting malicious HTML content from the clipboard that includes a data-method, data-remote or data-disable-with attribute.
This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-23913.
Not affected: < 5.1.0 Versions Affected: >= 5.1.0 Fixed Versions: 6.1.7.3, 7.0.4.3
Impact If the specified malicious HTML clipboard content is provided to a contenteditable element, this could result in the arbitrary execution of javascript on the origin in question.
Releases The FIXED releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds We recommend that all users upgrade to one of the FIXED versions. In the meantime, users can attempt to mitigate this vulnerability by removing the contenteditable attribute from elements in pages that rails-ujs will interact with.
Patches To aid users who aren’t able to upgrade immediately we have provided patches for the two supported release series. They are in git-am format and consist of a single changeset.
- rails-ujs-data-method-contenteditable-6-1.patch - Patch for 6.1 series
- rails-ujs-data-method-contenteditable-7-0.patch - Patch for 7.0 series
Please note that only the 7.0.Z and 6.1.Z series are supported at present, and 6.0.Z for severe vulnerabilities.
Users of earlier unsupported releases are advised to upgrade as soon as possible as we cannot guarantee the continued availability of security fixes for unsupported releases.

Possible XSS Vulnerability in Action View tag helpers
medium severity CVE-2022-27777~> 5.2.7, >= 5.2.7.1, ~> 6.0.4, >= 6.0.4.8, ~> 6.1.5, >= 6.1.5.1, >= 7.0.2.4
There is a possible XSS vulnerability in Action View tag helpers. Passing untrusted input as hash keys can lead to a possible XSS vulnerability. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2022-27777.
Versions Affected: ALL Not affected: NONE Fixed Versions: 7.0.2.4, 6.1.5.1, 6.0.4.8, 5.2.7.1
Impact
If untrusted data is passed as the hash key for tag attributes, there is a possibility that the untrusted data may not be properly escaped which can lead to an XSS vulnerability.
Impacted code will look something like this:
check_box_tag('thename', 'thevalue', false, aria: { malicious_input => 'thevalueofaria' })
Where the "malicious_input" variable contains untrusted data.
All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.
Releases
The FIXED releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
Escape the untrusted data before using it as a key for tag helper methods.
