Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Impact A payments info page of Pay is susceptible to reflected Cross-site scripting. An attacker could create a working URL that renders a javascript link to a user on a Rails application that integrates Pay. This URL could be distributed via email to specifically target certain individuals. If the targeted application contains a functionality to submit user-generated content (such as comments) the attacker could even distribute the URL using that functionality. ### Patches This has been patched in version 6.3.2 and above. Pay will now sanitize the `back` parameter and only permit relative paths.
