There is a possible XSS vulnerability in Rails / Action Pack. This vulnerability has been

assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2022-22577.

Versions Affected: >= 5.2.0

Not affected: < 5.2.0

Fixed Versions: 7.0.2.4, 6.1.5.1, 6.0.4.8, 5.2.7.1

Impact

------

CSP headers were only sent along with responses that Rails considered as

-----------

Set a CSP for your API responses manually.
