| Description | rails-html-sanitizer is responsible for sanitizing HTML fragments in Rails applications. Before 1.7.2, the HTML4 and HTML5 variants of Rails::HTML::SafeListSanitizer reuse one Rails::HTML::PermitScrubber across calls and mutate its tags and attributes without synchronization. In a multithreaded process, concurrent sanitize calls using different tags: or attributes: options can interleave and cause one call to use the other call's allowlist. If a permissive call admits a script element or event-handler attribute, output expected to be sanitized under a stricter policy can retain it and cause cross-site scripting when rendered. Applications that are single-threaded, use one identical allowlist everywhere, or provide a separate scrubber: are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.2. | |
