XSS vulnerability in `Rails::Html::FullSanitizer` used by Action View's `strip_tags` was reported. Due to the way that `Rails::Html::FullSanitizer` is implemented, if an attacker passes an already escaped HTML entity to the input of Action View's `strip_tags` these entities will be unescaped what may cause a XSS attack if used in combination with `raw` or `html_safe`.
