The first bypass could happen if user-provided attributes with + string keys were splatted into HTML tag, e.g. `div(**user_attributes)`. + + 2. The second bypass could happen if user-provided tag names were + passed to the `tag` method, e.g. `tag(some_tag_name_from_user)`. + + 3. The third bypass could happen if user’s links were passed to + `href` attributes, e.g. `a(href: user_provided_link)`. + + All three of these patterns are meant to be safe and all + have now been patched. + + ### Patches + + Phlex has patched all three issues and introduced new tests that + run against Safari, Firefox and Chrome. + + The patched versions are: + + - [2.4.1](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/2.4.1) + - [2.3.2](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/2.3.2) + - [2.2.2](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/2.2.2) + - [2.1.3](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/2.1.3) + - [2.0.2](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/2.0.3) + - [1.11.1](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/1.11.1) + + Phlex has also patched the [`main`](https://github.com/yippee-fun/phlex) + branch in GitHub. + + ### Workarounds + If a project uses a secure CSP (content security policy) or if the + application doesn’t use any of the above patterns, it is not at risk. +cvss_v3: 7.1 +patched_versions: + - "~> 1.11.1" + - "~> 2.0.2" + - "~> 2.1.3" + - "~> 2.2.2" + - "~> 2.3.2" + - ">= 2.4.1" +related: + url: + - https://github.com/yippee-fun/phlex/security/advisories/GHSA-w67g-2h6v-vjgq + - https://github.com/yippee-fun/phlex/commit/1d85da417cb15eb8cb2f54a68d531c9b35d9d03a + - https://github.com/yippee-fun/phlex/commit/556441d5a64ff93f749e8116a05b2d97264468ee + - https://github.com/yippee-fun/phlex/commit/74e3d8610ffabc2cf5f241945e9df4b14dceb97d + - https://github.com/yippee-fun/phlex/commit/9f56ad13bea9a7d6117fdfd510446c890709eeac + - https://github.com/yippee-fun/phlex/commit/fe9ea708672f9fa42526d9b47e1cdc4634860ef1 + - https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-w67g-2h6v-vjgq
