actionpack 6.0.4.5
Possible exposure of information vulnerability in Action Pack
high severity CVE-2022-23633~> 5.2.6, >= 5.2.6.2, ~> 6.0.4, >= 6.0.4.6, ~> 6.1.4, >= 6.1.4.6, >= 7.0.2.2
< 5.0.0
Impact
Under certain circumstances response bodies will not be closed, for example a
bug in a webserver (https://github.com/puma/puma/pull/2812) or a bug in a Rack
middleware. In the event a response is not notified of a close,
ActionDispatch::Executor will not know to reset thread local state for the
next request. This can lead to data being leaked to subsequent requests,
especially when interacting with ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes.
Upgrading to the FIXED versions of Rails will ensure mitigation if this issue even in the context of a buggy webserver or middleware implementation.
Patches
This has been fixed in Rails 7.0.2.2, 6.1.4.6, 6.0.4.6, and 5.2.6.2.
Workarounds
Upgrading is highly recommended, but to work around this problem the following middleware can be used:
class GuardedExecutor < ActionDispatch::Executor
def call(env)
ensure_completed!
super
end
private
def ensure_completed!
@executor.new.complete! if @executor.active?
end
end
# Ensure the guard is inserted before ActionDispatch::Executor
Rails.application.configure do
config.middleware.swap ActionDispatch::Executor, GuardedExecutor, executor
end
Possible ReDoS vulnerability in HTTP Token authentication in Action Controller
medium severity CVE-2024-47887~> 6.1.7.9, ~> 7.0.8.5, ~> 7.1.4, >= 7.1.4.1, >= 7.2.1.1
< 4.0.0
There is a possible ReDoS vulnerability in Action Controller's HTTP Token authentication. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-47887.
Impact
For applications using HTTP Token authentication via
authenticate_or_request_with_http_token or similar, a carefully
crafted header may cause header parsing 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 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.
Possible XSS Vulnerability in Action Pack
medium severity CVE-2022-22577~> 5.2.7, >= 5.2.7.1, ~> 6.0.4, >= 6.0.4.8, ~> 6.1.5, >= 6.1.5.1, >= 7.0.2.4
< 5.2.0
There is a possible XSS vulnerability in Rails / Action Pack. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2022-22577.
Versions Affected: >= 5.2.0 Not affected: < 5.2.0 Fixed Versions: 7.0.2.4, 6.1.5.1, 6.0.4.8, 5.2.7.1
Impact
CSP headers were only sent along with responses that Rails considered as "HTML" responses. This left API requests without CSP headers, which could possibly expose users to XSS attacks.
Releases
The FIXED releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
Set a CSP for your API responses manually.
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.
