view_component fixed: 2.31.2 
Upgrade view_component to 2.31.2
view_component fixed: 2.49.1 
Upgrade view_component to 2.49.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for view_component

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-24722, inspect your project dependencies for View component:

inspect dependencies for view_component

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of View component in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.31.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In View component, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

This is an XSS 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 2.29.1 and 2.49.1 have been released and fully mitigate the vulnerability. Avoid passing user input to the `translate` function, or sanitize the inputs before passing them. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in the [github/view_component](http://github.com/github/view_component) project
