CVE-2026-54498
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
view_component is a framework for building reusable, testable, and encapsulated view components in Ruby on Rails. From 4.0.0 until 4.12.0, ViewComponent::Base#around_render can return HTML-unsafe strings that bypass the escaping behavior applied to normal #call return values. This creates an XSS risk when downstream applications use around_render to wrap, replace, instrument, or conditionally return content that includes user-controlled data, and ViewComponent::Collection#render_in can amplify the issue by joining per-item results and marking the entire output html_safe, converting raw unsafe output into an ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer. This issue is fixed in version 4.12.0.

"value": "view_component es un framework para construir componentes de vista reutilizables, testeables y encapsulados en Ruby on Rails. Desde 4.0.0 hasta 4.12.0, ViewComponent::Base#around_render puede devolver cadenas no seguras para HTML que eluden el comportamiento de escape aplicado a los valores de retorno normales de #call. Esto crea un riesgo de XSS cuando las aplicaciones descendentes usan around_render para envolver, reemplazar, instrumentar o devolver condicionalmente contenido que incluye datos controlados por el usuario, y ViewComponent::Collection#render_in puede amplificar el problema al unir los resultados por elemento y marcar toda la salida html_safe, convirtiendo la salida bruta no segura en un ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 4.12.0."
