CVE-2024-26143

Summary

CVE-2024-26143 is a newly disclosed vulnerability affecting Rails, a widely used web application framework. The issue lies in the use of translation helpers in Action Controller. When a controller uses translation methods like "translate" or "t" with a key ending in "_html" and includes untrusted user input as the :default value, the resulting translated string may become susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Applications that have not yet been updated to versions 7.1.3.1 or 7.0.8.1 are at risk. The vulnerability can be exploited by attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to data breaches or unauthorized access. Developers are urged to upgrade their applications to the latest versions to mitigate this risk.
