There is a possible code injection vulnerability in the Active Storage module of Rails. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2022-21831.

Versions Affected: >= 5.2.0 Not affected: < 5.2.0 Fixed Versions: 7.0.2.3, 6.1.4.7, 6.0.4.7, 5.2.6.3

Impact

There is a possible code injection vulnerability in the Active Storage module of Rails. This vulnerability impacts applications that use Active Storage with the image_processing processing in addition to the mini_magick back end for image_processing.

Vulnerable code will look something similar to this:

<%= image_tag blob.variant(params[:t] => params[:v]) %>

Where the transformation method or its arguments are untrusted arbitrary input.

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

Workarounds

To work around this issue, applications should implement a strict allow-list on accepted transformation methods or arguments. Additionally, a strict image magick security policy will help mitigate this issue.

There is a vulnerability in ActiveStorage's S3 adapter that allows the Content-Length of a direct file upload to be modified by an end user.

Versions Affected: rails < 5.2.4.2, rails < 6.0.3.1 Not affected: Applications that do not use the direct upload functionality of the ActiveStorage S3 adapter. Fixed Versions: rails >= 5.2.4.3, rails >= 6.0.3.1

Impact

Utilizing this vulnerability, an attacker can control the Content-Length of an S3 direct upload URL without receiving a new signature from the server. This could be used to bypass controls in place on the server to limit upload size.

Workarounds

This is a low-severity security issue. As such, no workaround is necessarily until such time as the application can be upgraded.
