actionpack allows bypass of database-query restrictions
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| RubyGems | actionpack | >= 3.0.0, < 3.2.16 | 3.2.16 |
| RubyGems | actionpack | >= 4.0.0, < 4.0.2 | 4.0.2 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
`actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/request.rb` in Ruby on Rails before 3.2.16 and 4.x before 4.0.2 does not properly consider differences in parameter handling between the Active Record component and the JSON implementation, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended database-query restrictions and perform NULL checks or trigger missing WHERE clauses via a crafted request that leverages (1) third-party Rack middleware or (2) custom Rack middleware. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-0155.
