Description

VIewComponent is a framework for building view components in Ruby on Rails. Versions prior to 2.31.2 and 2.49.1 contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability that has the potential to impact anyone using translations with the view_component gem. Data received via user input and passed as an interpolation argument to the `translate` method is not properly sanitized before display. Versions 2.31.2 and 2.49.1 have been released and fully mitigate the vulnerability. As a workaround, avoid passing user input to the `translate` function, or sanitize the inputs before passing them.

Affected products

• github view_component: from 2.31.0 before 2.31.2; from 2.32.0 before 2.49.1 — fixed in 2.31.2, 2.49.1

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: github view_component 2.31.2, 2.49.1. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
