| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Action Text versions 6.0.0 through 6.1.7.8
Action Text versions 7.0.0 through 7.0.8.4
Action Text versions 7.1.0 through 7.1.4.0
Action Text versions 7.2.0 through 7.2.1.0
Description
The issue is related to the
plain text for blockquote node helper in Action Text, which can cause a denial of service due to a possible ReDoS vulnerability. Carefully crafted text can make the plain text for blockquote node helper take an unexpected amount of time. This problem can be mitigated in Ruby 3.2 or newer, so Rails applications using Ruby 3.2 or newer are unaffected.Recommendations
For Action Text versions 6.0.0 through 6.1.7.8, upgrade to version 6.1.7.9 or apply the relevant patch.
For Action Text versions 7.0.0 through 7.0.8.4, upgrade to version 7.0.8.5 or apply the relevant patch.
For Action Text versions 7.1.0 through 7.1.4.0, upgrade to version 7.1.4.1 or apply the relevant patch.
For Action Text versions 7.2.0 through 7.2.1.0, upgrade to version 7.2.1.1 or apply the relevant patch.
As a temporary workaround, users can avoid calling
plain text for blockquote node or upgrade to Ruby 3.2.Exploit
