Rails has possible XSS Vulnerability in Action Controller
# Possible XSS Vulnerability in Action Controller

There is a possible XSS vulnerability when using the translation helpers
(`translate`, `t`, etc) in Action Controller. This vulnerability has been
assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-26143.

Versions Affected:  >= 7.0.0.
Not affected:       < 7.0.0
Fixed Versions:     7.1.3.1, 7.0.8.1

Impact
------
Applications using translation methods like `translate`, or `t` on a
controller, with a key ending in "_html", a `:default` key which contains
untrusted user input, and the resulting string is used in a view, may be
susceptible to an XSS vulnerability.

For example, impacted code will look something like this:

```ruby
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
  def show  
    @message = t("message_html", default: untrusted_input)
    # The `show` template displays the contents of `@message`
  end
end
```

To reiterate the pre-conditions, applications must:

* Use a translation function from a controller (i.e. _not_ I18n.t, or `t` from
  a view)
* Use a key that ends in `_html`
* Use a default value where the default value is untrusted and unescaped input
* Send the text to the victim (whether that's part of a template, or a
  `render` call)

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the
workarounds immediately.

Rails has possible Sensitive Session Information Leak in Active Storage
# Possible Sensitive Session Information Leak in Active Storage

There is a possible sensitive session information leak in Active Storage.  By
default, Active Storage sends a `Set-Cookie` header along with the user's
session cookie when serving blobs.  It also sets `Cache-Control` to public.
Certain proxies may cache the Set-Cookie, leading to an information leak.

This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-26144.

Versions Affected:  >= 5.2.0, < 7.1.0
Not affected:       < 5.2.0, > 7.1.0
Fixed Versions:     7.0.8.1, 6.1.7.7

Impact
------
A proxy which chooses to caches this request can cause users to share
sessions. This may include a user receiving an attacker's session or vice
versa.

This was patched in 7.1.0 but not previously identified as a security
vulnerability.

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
-----------
Upgrade to Rails 7.1.X, or configure caching proxies not to cache the
Set-Cookie headers.
