Comment on Multiple security vulnerabilities in Railsparent

The point for such scenarios is that whitelist is better than blacklist.

from CVE-2015-7580:

Carefully crafted strings can cause user input to bypass the sanitization in the white list sanitizer

So people are using a whitelist, and this bug is in that whitelist. In other words, people are "doing the right thing" and are still vulnerable.
