Active Storage allowed transformation methods that were potentially unsafe
critical severity CVE-2025-24293~> 7.1.5.2, ~> 7.2.2.2, >= 8.0.2.1
< 5.20
Active Storage attempts to prevent the use of potentially unsafe image transformation methods and parameters by default. The default allowed list contains three methods allowing for the circumvention of the safe defaults which enables potential command injection vulnerabilities in cases where arbitrary user supplied input is accepted as valid transformation methods or parameters.
This has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2025-24293.
Versions Affected: >= 5.2.0 Not affected: < 5.2.0 Fixed Versions: 7.1.5.2, 7.2.2.2, 8.0.2.1
Impact
This vulnerability impacts applications that use Active Storage with the image_processing processing gem in addition to mini_magick as the image processor.
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.
Releases
The fixed releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
Consuming user supplied input for image transformation methods or their parameters is unsupported behavior and should be considered dangerous.
Strict validation of user supplied methods and parameters should be performed as well as having a strong ImageMagick security policy deployed.

Possible Sensitive Session Information Leak in Active Storage
medium severity CVE-2024-26144~> 6.1.7, >= 6.1.7.7, >= 7.0.8.1
< 5.2.0, >= 7.1.0
There is a possible sensitive session information leak in Active Storage.
By default, Active Storage sends a Set-Cookie header along with the user’s
session cookie when serving blobs. It also sets Cache-Control to public.
Certain proxies may cache the Set-Cookie, leading to an information leak.
This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-26144.
Versions Affected: >= 5.2.0, < 7.1.0
Not affected: < 5.2.0, >= 7.1.0
Fixed Versions: 7.0.8.1, 6.1.7.7
Impact
A proxy which chooses to caches this request can cause users to share sessions. This may include a user receiving an attacker’s session or vice versa.
This was patched in 7.1.0 but not previously identified as a security vulnerability.
All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.
Releases
The fixed releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
Upgrade to Rails 7.1.X, or configure caching proxies not to cache the
Set-Cookie headers.
