Summary
Gon gem lack of escaping certain input when outputting as JSON
Details

An issue was discovered in the gon gem before gon-6.4.0 for Ruby. MultiJson does not honor the escapemode parameter to escape fields as an XSS protection mechanism. To mitigate, jsondumper.rb in gon now does escaping for XSS by default without relying on MultiJson.
