  - # Possible XSS Vulnerability in Rails::Html::SanitizerThere is a possible XSS vulnerability with certain     configurations of Rails::Html::Sanitizer.This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier     CVE-2022-32209.Versions Affected: ALLNot affected: NONEFixed Versions: v1.4.3## ImpactA 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 to allow both `select`     and `style` elements.Code is only impacted if allowed tags are being overridden. This may be done via     application configuration:```ruby# In config/application.rbconfig.action_view.sanitized_allowed_tags =     [select, style]```see https://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#configuring-action-viewOr it may     be done with a `:tags` option to the Action View helper `sanitize`:```<%= sanitize @comment.body, tags:
    [select, style] %>```see     https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/SanitizeHelper.html#method-i-sanitizeOr it may be     done with Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer directly:```ruby# class-level     optionRails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.allowed_tags = [select, style]```or```ruby# instance-level     optionRails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.new.sanitize(@article.body, tags: [select, style])```All users     overriding the allowed tags by any of the above mechanisms to include both select and style should     either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.## ReleasesThe FIXED releases are available at     the normal locations.## WorkaroundsRemove either `select` or `style` from the overridden allowed tags.##     CreditsThis vulnerability was responsibly reported by     [windshock](https://hackerone.com/windshock?type=user).
