GSD-2020-5267
Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2020-03-19 00:00Details
There is a possible XSS vulnerability in ActionView's JavaScript literal
escape helpers. Views that use the `j` or `escape_javascript` methods
may be susceptible to XSS attacks.
Versions Affected: All.
Not affected: None.
Fixed Versions: 6.0.2.2, 5.2.4.2
Impact
------
There is a possible XSS vulnerability in the `j` and `escape_javascript`
methods in ActionView. These methods are used for escaping JavaScript string
literals. Impacted code will look something like this:
```erb
<script>let a = `<%= j unknown_input %>`</script>
```
or
```erb
<script>let a = `<%= escape_javascript unknown_input %>`</script>
```
Releases
--------
The 6.0.2.2 and 5.2.4.2 releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
-----------
For those that can't upgrade, the following monkey patch may be used:
```ruby
ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptHelper::JS_ESCAPE_MAP.merge!(
{
"`" => "\\`",
"$" => "\\$"
}
)
module ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptHelper
alias :old_ej :escape_javascript
alias :old_j :j
def escape_javascript(javascript)
javascript = javascript.to_s
if javascript.empty?
result = ""
else
result = javascript.gsub(/(\\|<\/|\r\n|\342\200\250|\342\200\251|[\n\r"']|[`]|[$])/u, JS_ESCAPE_MAP)
end
javascript.html_safe? ? result.html_safe : result
end
alias :j :escape_javascript
end
```
