GHSA-pg8v-g4xq-hww9: Rails::Html::Sanitizer vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting
Versions of Rails::Html::Sanitizer prior to version 1.4.3 are vulnerable to XSS with certain configurations of Rails::Html::Sanitizer which allows an attacker to inject content when the application developer has overridden the sanitizer’s allowed tags to allow both select and style elements. Code is only impacted if allowed tags are being overridden.
This may be done via application configuration: ruby# In config/application.rbconfig.action_view.sanitized_allowed_tags = ["select", "style"]
see https://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#configuring-action-view
Or it may be done with a :tags option to the Action View helper sanitize: <%= sanitize @comment.body, tags: ["select", "style"] %>
see https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/SanitizeHelper.html#method-i-sanitize
It may also be done with Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer directly:
ruby# class-level optionRails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.allowed_tags = ["select", "style"] or with
ruby# instance-level optionRails::Html::SafeListSanitizer.new.sanitize(@article.body, tags: ["select", "style"])
All users overriding the allowed tags by any of the above mechanisms to include both “select” and “style” are recommended to upgrade immediately. A workaround for this issue can be applied by removing either select or style from the overridden allowed tags.

rails-html-sanitizer is responsible for sanitizing HTML fragments in Rails applications. Prior to version 1.4.4, there is a possible XSS vulnerability with certain configurations of Rails::Html::Sanitizer due to an incomplete fix of CVE-2022-32209. Rails::Html::Sanitizer may allow an attacker to inject content if the application developer has overridden the sanitizer's allowed tags to allow both "select" and "style" elements. Code is only impacted if allowed tags are being overridden. This issue is patched in version 1.4.4. All users overriding the allowed tags to include both "select" and "style" should either upgrade or use this workaround: Remove either "select" or "style" from the overridden allowed tags. NOTE: Code is _not_ impacted if allowed tags are overridden using either the :tags option to the Action View helper method sanitize or the :tags option to the instance method SafeListSanitizer#sanitize.
