Possible Information Disclosure / Unintended Method Execution in Action Pack
high severity CVE-2021-22885~> 5.2.4.6, ~> 5.2.6, ~> 6.0.3, >= 6.0.3.7, >= 6.1.3.2
< 2.0.0
There is a possible information disclosure / unintended method execution vulnerability in Action Pack which has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2021-22885.
Versions Affected: >= 2.0.0. Not affected: < 2.0.0. Fixed Versions: 6.1.3.2, 6.0.3.7, 5.2.4.6, 5.2.6
Impact
There is a possible information disclosure / unintended method execution
vulnerability in Action Pack when using the redirect_to or polymorphic_url
helper with untrusted user input.
Vulnerable code will look like this:
redirect_to(params[:some_param])
All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.
Workarounds
To work around this problem, it is recommended to use an allow list for valid parameters passed from the user. For example:
private def check(param)
case param
when "valid"
param
else
"/"
end
end
def index
redirect_to(check(params[:some_param]))
end
Or force the user input to be cast to a string like this:
def index
redirect_to(params[:some_param].to_s)
end
Possible ReDoS vulnerability in query parameter filtering in Action Dispatch
medium severity CVE-2024-41128~> 6.1.7.9, ~> 7.0.8.5, ~> 7.1.4, >= 7.1.4.1, >= 7.2.1.1
< 3.1.0
There is a possible ReDoS vulnerability in the query parameter filtering routines of Action Dispatch. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-41128.
Impact
Carefully crafted query parameters can cause query parameter filtering to take an unexpected amount of time, possibly resulting in a DoS vulnerability. All users running an affected release should either upgrade or apply the relevant patch immediately.
Ruby 3.2 has mitigations for this problem, so Rails applications using Ruby 3.2 or newer are unaffected. Rails 8.0.0.beta1 depends on Ruby 3.2 or greater so is unaffected.
Releases
The fixed releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
Users on Ruby 3.2 are unaffected by this issue.

Possible XSS via User Supplied Values to redirect_to
medium severity CVE-2023-28362~> 6.1.7.4, >= 7.0.5.1
The redirect_to method in Rails allows provided values to contain characters which are not legal in an HTTP header value. This results in the potential for downstream services which enforce RFC compliance on HTTP response headers to remove the assigned Location header. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-28362.
Versions Affected: All. Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 7.0.5.1, 6.1.7.4
Impact
This introduces the potential for a Cross-site-scripting (XSS) payload to be delivered on the now static redirection page. Note that this both requires user interaction and for a Rails app to be configured to allow redirects to external hosts (defaults to false in Rails >= 7.0.x).
Releases
The FIXED releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
Avoid providing user supplied URLs with arbitrary schemes to the redirect_to method.
Ability to forge per-form CSRF tokens given a global CSRF token
medium severity CVE-2020-8166~> 5.2.4, >= 5.2.4.3, >= 6.0.3.1
It is possible to possible to, given a global CSRF token such as the one present in the authenticity_token meta tag, forge a per-form CSRF token for any action for that session.
Versions Affected: rails < 5.2.5, rails < 6.0.4 Not affected: Applications without existing HTML injection vulnerabilities. Fixed Versions: rails >= 5.2.4.3, rails >= 6.0.3.1
Impact
Given the ability to extract the global CSRF token, an attacker would be able to construct a per-form CSRF token for that session.
Workarounds
This is a low-severity security issue. As such, no workaround is necessarily until such time as the application can be upgraded.
ReDoS based DoS vulnerability in Action Dispatch
low severity CVE-2023-22795~> 5.2.8, >= 5.2.8.15, ~> 6.1.7, >= 6.1.7.1, >= 7.0.4.1
There is a possible regular expression based DoS vulnerability in Action Dispatch related to the If-None-Match header. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-22795.
Versions Affected: All Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 5.2.8.15 (Rails LTS), 6.1.7.1, 7.0.4.1
Impact
A specially crafted HTTP If-None-Match header can cause the regular expression engine to enter a state of catastrophic backtracking, when on a version of Ruby below 3.2.0. This can cause the process to use large amounts of CPU and memory, leading to a possible DoS vulnerability All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.
Workarounds
We recommend that all users upgrade to one of the FIXED versions. In the meantime, users can mitigate this vulnerability by using a load balancer or other device to filter out malicious If-None-Match headers before they reach the application.
Users on Ruby 3.2.0 or greater are not affected by this vulnerability.
ReDoS based DoS vulnerability in Action Dispatch
low severity CVE-2023-22792~> 5.2.8, >= 5.2.8.15, ~> 6.1.7, >= 6.1.7.1, >= 7.0.4.1
< 3.0.0
There is a possible regular expression based DoS vulnerability in Action Dispatch. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-22792.
Versions Affected: >= 3.0.0 Not affected: < 3.0.0 Fixed Versions: 5.2.8.15 (Rails LTS), 6.1.7.1, 7.0.4.1
Impact
Specially crafted cookies, in combination with a specially crafted X_FORWARDED_HOST header can cause the regular expression engine to enter a state of catastrophic backtracking. This can cause the process to use large amounts of CPU and memory, leading to a possible DoS vulnerability All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.
Workarounds
We recommend that all users upgrade to one of the FIXED versions. In the meantime, users can mitigate this vulnerability by using a load balancer or other device to filter out malicious X_FORWARDED_HOST headers before they reach the application.
