Description

Tracks contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because input appended to the URL after todos/tag/ is not properly validated by app/controllers/todos_controller.rb. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
