## Rails 3.2.8 ##
+* When a "prompt" value is supplied to the `select_tag` helper, the "prompt" value is not escaped.
+ If untrusted data is not escaped, and is supplied as the prompt value, there is a potential for XSS attacks.
+ Vulnerable code will look something like this:
+ select_tag("name", options, :prompt => UNTRUSTED_INPUT)
+
+ *Santiago Pastorino*

* Reverted the deprecation of `:confirm`. *Rafael Mendonça França*
* Reverted the deprecation of `:disable_with`. *Rafael Mendonça França*
