Descriptions

There is a potential DOM based cross-site scripting issue in rails-ujs which leverages the Clipboard API to target HTML elements that are assigned the contenteditable attribute. This has the potential to occur when pasting malicious HTML content from the clipboard that includes a data-method, data-remote or data-disable-with attribute.

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in rails, the Ruby based server-side MVC web application framework, which could lead to XSS and DOM based cross-site scripting (CRS). This update also fixes a regression introduced in previous update that may block certain access for apps using development environment.
