CVE-2013-1855 describes a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the sanitize_css method within the Action Pack component of Ruby on Rails versions prior to 2.3.18, 3.0.x/3.1.x before 3.1.12, and 3.2.x before 3.2.13, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions. The flaw stems from improper handling of newline characters in CSS token sequences, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious code. With a CVSS score of 4.3, this vulnerability has a medium attack complexity and requires no authentication, potentially leading to information disclosure or integrity compromise. While there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is unavailable, and community discussion is minimal, with only one Reddit mention.
