Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
In Kaminari before 1.2.1, there is a vulnerability that would allow an attacker to inject arbitrary code into pages with pagination links. This has been fixed in 1.2.1.
### Releases
The 1.2.1 gem including the patch has already been released.
All past released versions are affected by this vulnerability.
### Workarounds
Application developers who can't update the gem can workaround by overriding the `PARAM_KEY_EXCEPT_LIST` constant.
```ruby
module Kaminari::Helpers
PARAM_KEY_EXCEPT_LIST = [:authenticity_token, :commit, :utf8, :_method, :script_name, :original_script_name].freeze
end
```
