CVE-2013-1855
No CVSS score yet. EPSS 2.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in actionpack 2.3.18, 3.1.12, 3.2.13.
The sanitize_css method in lib/action_controller/vendor/html-scanner/html/sanitizer.rb in the Action Pack component in Ruby on Rails before 2.3.18, 3.0.x and 3.1.x before 3.1.12, and 3.2.x before 3.2.13 does not properly handle \n (newline) characters, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via crafted Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) token sequences.
