Summary
iCalendar is a Ruby library for dealing with iCalendar files in the iCalendar format defined by RFC-5545. Starting in version 2.0.0 and prior to version 2.12.2, .ics serialization does not properly sanitize URI property values, enabling ICS injection through attacker-controlled input, adding arbitrary calendar lines to the output. `Icalendar::Values::Uri` falls back to the raw input string when `URI.parse` fails and later serializes it with `value.to_s` without removing or escaping `\r` or `\n` characters. That value is embedded directly into the final ICS line by the normal serializer, so a payload containing CRLF can terminate the original property and create a new ICS property or component. (It looks like you can inject via url, source, image, organizer, attach, attendee, conference, tzurl because of this). Applications that generate `.ics` files from partially untrusted metadata are impacted. As a result, downstream calendar clients or importers may process attacker-supplied content as if it were legitimate event data, such as added attendees, modified URLs, alarms, or other calendar fields. Version 2.12.2 contains a patch for the issue.

"value": "iCalendar es una biblioteca de Ruby dise\u00f1ada para gestionar archivos iCalendar en el formato definido por el RFC-5545. Desde la versi\u00f3n 2.0.0 hasta la versi\u00f3n 2.12.2, la serializaci\u00f3n de archivos .ics no depura correctamente los valores de las propiedades URI, lo que permite la inyecci\u00f3n ICS a trav\u00e9s de entradas controladas por un atacante, a\u00f1adiendo entradas de calendario arbitrarias a la salida. `Icalendar::Values::Uri` recurre a la cadena de entrada sin procesar cuando `URI.parse` falla y posteriormente la serializa con `value.to_s` sin eliminar ni escapar los caracteres \\r o \\n. Ese valor se incrusta directamente en la l\u00ednea ICS final mediante el serializador normal, por lo que una carga \u00fatil que contenga CRLF puede terminar la propiedad original y crear una nueva propiedad o componente ICS. (Parece que, debido a esto, se puede inyectar a trav\u00e9s de url, source, image, organizer, attach, attendee, conference y tzurl). Las aplicaciones que generan archivos `.ics` a partir de metadatos parcialmente no fiables se ven afectadas. Como resultado, los clientes de calendario o importadores posteriores pueden procesar el contenido proporcionado por el atacante como si se tratara de datos de eventos leg\u00edtimos, tales como asistentes a\u00f1adidos, URL modificadas, alarmas u otros campos del calendario. La versi\u00f3n 2.12.2 contiene un parche para este problema."
