SUSE SLES15 / openSUSE 15 Security Update : rubygem-actionview-5_1 (SUSE-SU-2023:2059-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 174923

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:2059-1 advisory.

 - 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)

 - A CSRF vulnerability exists in rails <= 6.0.3 rails-ujs module that could allow attackers to send CSRF tokens to wrong domains. (CVE-2020-8167)

 - A XSS Vulnerability in Action View tag helpers >= 5.2.0 and < 5.2.0 which would allow an attacker to inject content if able to control input into specific attributes. (CVE-2022-27777)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected ruby2.5-rubygem-actionview-5_1 and / or ruby2.5-rubygem-actionview-doc-5_1 packages.
