SCA: security update for actionview (GHSA-cfjv-5498-mph5)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413863

Description

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

- 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)
