OESA-2021-1180 (CVE-2020-15169)
Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2021-05-15 11:04 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:04 – Source websiteSimple, battle-tested conventions and helpers for building web pages.
Security Fix(es):
In Action View before versions 5.2.4.4 and 6.0.3.3 there is a potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Action View s translation helpers. Views that allow the user to control the default (not found) value of the t and translate helpers could be susceptible to XSS attacks. When an HTML-unsafe string is passed as the default for a missing translation key named html or ending in _html, the default string is incorrectly marked as HTML-safe and not escaped. This is patched in versions 6.0.3.3 and 5.2.4.4. A workaround without upgrading is proposed in the source advisory.(CVE-2020-15169)
