Descriptions

Action Text brings rich text content and editing to Rails. Starting in version 6.0.0 and prior to versions 6.1.7.9, 7.0.8.5, 7.1.4.1, and 7.2.1.1, there is a possible ReDoS vulnerability in the `plain_text_for_blockquote_node helper` in Action Text. Carefully crafted text can cause the `plain_text_for_blockquote_node` helper to take an unexpected amount of time, possibly resulting in a DoS vulnerability. All users running an affected release should either upgrade to versions 6.1.7.9, 7.0.8.5, 7.1.4.1, or 7.2.1.1 or apply the relevant patch immediately. As a workaround, users can avoid calling `plain_text_for_blockquote_node` or upgrade to Ruby 3.2. Ruby 3.2 has mitigations for this problem, so Rails applications using Ruby 3.2 or newer are unaffected. Rails 8.0.0.beta1 depends on Ruby 3.2 or greater so is unaffected.

Action Text aporta contenido de texto enriquecido y edición a Rails. A partir de la versión 6.0.0 y anteriores a las versiones 6.1.7.9, 7.0.8.5, 7.1.4.1 y 7.2.1.1, existe una posible vulnerabilidad de ReDoS en el asistente `plain_text_for_blockquote_node` en Action Text. Un texto cuidadosamente elaborado puede hacer que el asistente `plain_text_for_blockquote_node` tarde una cantidad inesperada de tiempo, lo que posiblemente resulte en una vulnerabilidad de DoS. Todos los usuarios que ejecuten una versión afectada deben actualizar a las versiones 6.1.7.9, 7.0.8.5, 7.1.4.1 o 7.2.1.1 o aplicar el parche correspondiente inmediatamente. Como workaround, los usuarios pueden evitar llamar a `plain_text_for_blockquote_node` o actualizar a Ruby 3.2. Ruby 3.2 tiene mitigaciones para este problema, por lo que las aplicaciones Rails que usan Ruby 3.2 o una versión más reciente no se ven afectadas. Rails 8.0.0.beta1 depende de Ruby 3.2 o una versión posterior, por lo que no se ve afectado.
