Details
There is a vulnerability in the simple_format helper in Ruby on Rails.
The simple_format helper converts user supplied text into html text
which is intended to be safe for display. A change made to the
implementation of this helper means that any user provided HTML
attributes will not be escaped correctly. As a result of this error,
applications which pass user-controlled data to be included as html
attributes will be vulnerable to an XSS attack.
