DESCRIPTION:
Mesut Timur has discovered a vulnerability in Tracks, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input appended to the URL after todos/tag/ is not properly sanitised
in app/controllers/todos_controller.rb before being returned to the
user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code
in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.7.2. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.7.3.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
