Upgrade view_component to version 2.83.0, 3.9.0 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') via the #call and #output_postamble methods. An attacker can inject malicious scripts that may be executed in the context of the user's browser session by including user-defined content that is not properly sanitized.
Note:
This is exploitable via the #call method only if a component that defines it is rendered directly from a controller.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by sanitizing the return value of #call.
