Description
There is a possible XSS vulnerability in Rails / Action Pack. This vulnerability has been
assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2022-22577.
Versions Affected: >= 5.2.0
Not affected: < 5.2.0
Fixed Versions: 7.0.2.4, 6.1.5.1, 6.0.4.8, 5.2.7.1
Impact
CSP headers were only sent along with responses that Rails considered as
"HTML" responses. This left API requests without CSP headers, which could
possibly expose users to XSS attacks.
Releases
The FIXED releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
Set a CSP for your API responses manually.
