CVE-2020-15169: Cross-site Scripting

September 11, 2020 (updated December 8, 2020)

In Action View 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.
