SQL Injection Vulnerability via ActiveRecord comments

high severity CVE-2023-22794
high severity CVE-2023-22794
Patched versions: ~> 6.0.6, >= 6.0.6.1, ~> 6.1.7, >= 6.1.7.1, >= 7.0.4.1
Unaffected versions: < 6.0.0

There is a possible vulnerability in ActiveRecord related to the sanitization of comments. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-22794.

Versions Affected: >= 6.0.0 Not affected: < 6.0.0 Fixed Versions: 6.0.6.1, 6.1.7.1, 7.0.4.1

Impact

Previously the implementation of escaping for comments was insufficient for

If malicious user input is passed to either the annotate query method, the optimizer_hints query method, or through the QueryLogs interface which automatically adds annotations, it may be sent to the database with insufficient sanitization and be able to inject SQL outside of the comment.

In most cases these interfaces won’t be used with user input and users should avoid doing so.

Example vulnerable code:

Post.where(id: 1).annotate("#{params[:user_input]}")

Post.where(id: 1).optimizer_hints("#{params[:user_input]}")

Example vulnerable QueryLogs configuration (the default configuration is not vulnerable):

config.active_record.query_log_tags = [
  {
    something: -> { <some value including user input> }
  }
]

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.

Workarounds

Avoid passing user input to annotate and avoid using QueryLogs configuration which can include user input.

Denial of Service Vulnerability in ActiveRecord’s PostgreSQL adapter

high severity CVE-2022-44566
high severity CVE-2022-44566
Patched versions: ~> 5.2.8, >= 5.2.8.15, ~> 6.1.7, >= 6.1.7.1, >= 7.0.4.1

There is a potential denial of service vulnerability present in ActiveRecord’s PostgreSQL adapter.

This has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2022-44566.

Versions Affected: All. Not affected: None. Fixed Versions: 5.2.8.15 (Rails LTS), 6.1.7.1, 7.0.4.1

Impact

In ActiveRecord <7.0.4.1 and <6.1.7.1, when a value outside the range for a 64bit signed integer is provided to the PostgreSQL connection adapter, it will treat the target column type as numeric. Comparing integer values against numeric values can result in a slow sequential scan resulting in potential Denial of Service.

Workarounds

Ensure that user supplied input which is provided to ActiveRecord clauses do not contain integers wider than a signed 64bit representation or floats.
