CVE-2020-7656: Cross-site Scripting

May 19, 2020 (updated May 28, 2020)

jQuery, which is used by the rdoc gem, allows Cross-site Scripting attacks via the load method. The load method fails to recognize and remove <script> HTML tags that contain a whitespace character, i.e., </script >, which results in the enclosed script logic to be executed.
