Inconsistent escaping in xml rendering

Reported by Elijah Smith | May 22nd, 2010 @ 03:07 AM

_foo.xml.builder:

xml.script('alert("Pwned");')

index.html.erb:

<%= render :partial=>'foo.xml' %>
<%= render :partial=>'foo.xml', :collection=>[{}] %>

output:

&lt;script&gt;alert(&quot;Pwned&quot;);&lt;/script&gt;
<script>alert("Pwned");</script>

what's happening is that the second render call is triggering the render_collection codepath, which isn't returning the XML escaped like the first call is.

I guess I'm not even sure which behavior is preferable but consistency would be good.

I wish I could give more in terms of solution & testing but this is about as far as my knowledge goes.
