CVE-2014-0046  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

Overview

ember is an Ember.js source code wrapper for use with Ruby libs.

Affected versions of this gem allow an attacker to execute a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attack. In general, Ember.js escapes or strips any user-supplied content before inserting it in strings that will be sent to innerHTML. However, a change made to the implementation of the {{link-to}} helper means that any user-supplied data bound to the {{link-to}} helper's title attribute will not be escaped correctly.

In applications that use the {{link-to}} helper in non-block form and bind the title attribute to user-supplied content, a specially-crafted payload could execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the current domain ("XSS").
