Path Traversal in Action View # File Content Disclosure in Action View Impact ------ There is a possible file content disclosure vulnerability in Action View. Specially crafted accept headers in combination with calls to `render file:` can cause arbitrary files on the target server to be rendered, disclosing the file contents. The impact is limited to calls to `render` which render file contents without a specified accept format. Impacted code in a controller looks something like this: ``` ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index render file: "#{Rails.root}/some/file" end end ``` Rendering templates as opposed to files is not impacted by this vulnerability. All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately. Releases -------- The 6.0.0.beta3, 5.2.2.1, 5.1.6.2, 5.0.7.2, and 4.2.11.1 releases are available at the normal locations. Workarounds ----------- This vulnerability can be mitigated by specifying a format for file rendering, like this: ``` ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index render file: "#{Rails.root}/some/file", formats: [:html] end end ``` In summary, impacted calls to `render` look like this: ``` render file: "#{Rails.root}/some/file" ``` The vulnerability can be mitigated by changing to this: ``` render file: "#{Rails.root}/some/file", formats: [:html] ``` Other calls to `render` are not impacted. Alternatively, the following monkey patch can be applied in an initializer: ``` ruby $ cat config/initializers/formats_filter.rb # frozen_string_literal: true ActionDispatch::Request.prepend(Module.new do def formats super().select do |format| format.symbol || format.ref == "*/*" end end end) ``` Credits ------- Thanks to John Hawthorn <john@hawthorn.email> of GitHub

XSS in Action View 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. ### Impact When an HTML-unsafe string is passed as the default for a missing translation key [named `html` or ending in `_html`](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/i18n.html#using-safe-html-translations), the default string is incorrectly marked as HTML-safe and not escaped. Vulnerable code may look like the following examples: ```erb <%# The welcome_html translation is not defined for the current locale: %> <%= t("welcome_html", default: untrusted_user_controlled_string) %> <%# Neither the title.html translation nor the missing.html translation is defined for the current locale: %> <%= t("title.html", default: [:"missing.html", untrusted_user_controlled_string]) %> ``` ### Patches Patched Rails versions, 6.0.3.3 and 5.2.4.4, are available from the normal locations. The patches have also been applied to the `master`, `6-0-stable`, and `5-2-stable` branches on GitHub. If you track any of these branches, you should update to the latest. To aid users who aren’t able to upgrade immediately, we’ve provided patches for the two supported release series. They are in git-am format and consist of a single changeset. * [5-2-translate-helper-xss.patch](https://gist.github.com/georgeclaghorn/a466e103922ee81f24c32c9034089442#file-5-2-translate-helper-xss-patch) — patch for the 5.2 release series * [6-0-translate-helper-xss.patch](https://gist.github.com/georgeclaghorn/a466e103922ee81f24c32c9034089442#file-6-0-translate-helper-xss-patch) — patch for the 6.0 release series Please note that only the 5.2 and 6.0 release series are currently supported. Users of earlier, unsupported releases are advised to update as soon as possible, as we cannot provide security fixes for unsupported releases. ### Workarounds Impacted users who can’t upgrade to a patched Rails version can avoid this issue by manually escaping default translations with the `html_escape` helper (aliased as `h`): ```erb <%= t("welcome_html", default: h(untrusted_user_controlled_string)) %> ```

# Denial of Service Vulnerability in Action View Impact ------ Specially crafted accept headers can cause the Action View template location code to consume 100% CPU, causing the server unable to process requests. This impacts all Rails applications that render views. All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately. Releases -------- The 6.0.0.beta3, 5.2.2.1, 5.1.6.2, 5.0.7.2, and 4.2.11.1 releases are available at the normal locations. Workarounds ----------- This vulnerability can be mitigated by wrapping `render` calls with `respond_to` blocks. For example, the following example is vulnerable: ``` ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index render "index" end end ``` But the following code is not vulnerable: ```ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index respond_to |format| format.html { render "index" } end end end ``` Implicit rendering is impacted, so this code is vulnerable: ```ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index end end ``` But can be changed this this: ```ruby class UserController < ApplicationController def index respond_to |format| format.html { render "index" } end end end ``` Alternatively to specifying the format, the following monkey patch can be applied in an initializer: ``` $ cat config/initializers/formats_filter.rb # frozen_string_literal: true ActionDispatch::Request.prepend(Module.new do def formats super().select do |format| format.symbol || format.ref == "*/*" end end end) ``` Please note that only the 5.2.x, 5.1.x, 5.0.x, and 4.2.x series are supported at present. Users of earlier unsupported releases are advised to upgrade as soon as possible as we cannot guarantee the continued availability of security fixes for unsupported releases. Also note that the patches for this vulnerability are the same as CVE-2019-5418. Credits ------- Thanks to John Hawthorn <john@hawthorn.email> of GitHub

Cross site scripting vulnerability in ActionView There is a possible cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ActionView's JavaScript literal escape helpers. Views that use the `j` or `escape_javascript` methods may be susceptible to XSS attacks. ### 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 ``` ### Patches To aid users who aren't able to upgrade immediately we have provided patches for the two supported release series. They are in git-am format and consist of a single changeset. * [5-2-js-helper-xss.patch](https://gist.github.com/tenderlove/c042ff49f0347c37e99183a6502accc6#file-5-2-js-helper-xss-patch) - Patch for 5.2 series * [6-0-js-helper-xss.patch](https://gist.github.com/tenderlove/c042ff49f0347c37e99183a6502accc6#file-6-0-js-helper-xss-patch) - Patch for 6.0 series Please note that only the 5.2 and 6.0 series are supported at present. Users of earlier unsupported releases are advised to upgrade as soon as possible as we cannot guarantee the continued availability of security fixes for unsupported releases. ### Credits Thanks to Jesse Campos from Chef Secure

CSRF Vulnerability in rails-ujs There is a vulnerability in rails-ujs that allows attackers to send CSRF tokens to wrong domains. Versions Affected: rails <= 6.0.3 Not affected: Applications which don't use rails-ujs. Fixed Versions: rails >= 5.2.4.3, rails >= 6.0.3.1 Impact ------ This is a regression of CVE-2015-1840. In the scenario where an attacker might be able to control the href attribute of an anchor tag or the action attribute of a form tag that will trigger a POST action, the attacker can set the href or action to a cross-origin URL, and the CSRF token will be sent. Workarounds ----------- To work around this problem, change code that allows users to control the href attribute of an anchor tag or the action attribute of a form tag to filter the user parameters. For example, code like this: link_to params to code like this: link_to filtered_params def filtered_params # Filter just the parameters that you trust end
