+title: Phlex vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) via maliciously
+  formed HTML attribute names and values
+date: 2024-05-01
+description: |
+  There is a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that
+  can be exploited via maliciously crafted user data.
+
+  The reason these issues were not detected before is the escapes were
+  working as designed. However, their design didn't take into account
+  just how recklessly permissive browser are when it comes to executing
+  unsafe JavaScript via HTML attributes.
+
+  ### Impact
+
+  If you render an `<a>` tag with an `href` attribute set to an
+  user-provided link, that link could potentially execute JavaScript
+  when clicked by another user.
+
+  ```ruby
+  a(href: user_profile) { "Profile" }
+  ```
+
+  If you splat user-provided attributes when rendering any HTML or SVG
+  tag, malicious event attributes could be included in the output,
+  executing JavaScript when the events are triggered by another user.
+
+  ```ruby
+  h1(**JSON.parse(user_attributes))
+  ```
+
+  ### Patches
+
+  Patches are [available on RubyGems](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex)
+  for all minor versions released in the last year.
+
+  - [1.10.2](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/1.10.2)
+  - [1.9.3](https://rubygems.org/gems/phlex/versions/1.9.3)
+
+  If you are on `main`, it has been patched since
+  [`da8f943`](https://github.com/phlex-ruby/phlex/commit/da8f94342a84cff9d78c98bcc3b3604ee2e577d2)
+
+  ### Workarounds
+
+  Configuring a [Content Security Policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy)
+  that does not allow [`unsafe-inline`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy#unsafe-inline)
+  would effectively prevent this vulnerability from being exploited.
+
+  ### References
+
+  In addition to upgrading to a patched version of Phlex, we strongly
+  recommend configuring a Content Security Policy header that does
+  not allow `unsafe-inline`. Here’s how you can configure a Content
+  Security Policy header in Rails.
