SCA: security update for rails-html-sanitizer (GHSA-9h9g-93gc-623h)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413288

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - rails-html-sanitizer is responsible for sanitizing HTML fragments in Rails applications. Prior to version
 1.4.4, a possible XSS vulnerability with certain configurations of Rails::Html::Sanitizer may allow an
 attacker to inject content if the application developer has overridden the sanitizer's allowed tags in
 either of the following ways: allow both "math" and "style" elements, or allow both "svg" and "style"
 elements. Code is only impacted if allowed tags are being overridden. . This issue is fixed in version
 1.4.4. All users overriding the allowed tags to include "math" or "svg" and "style" should either upgrade
 or use the following workaround immediately: Remove "style" from the overridden allowed tags, or remove
 "math" and "svg" from the overridden allowed tags. (CVE-2022-23519)
