๐Ÿšจ Rails has possible XSS Vulnerability in Action Controller

Possible XSS Vulnerability in Action Controller

There is a possible XSS vulnerability when using the translation helpers
(translate, t, etc) in Action Controller. This vulnerability has been
assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-26143.

Versions Affected: >= 7.0.0.
Not affected: < 7.0.0
Fixed Versions: 7.1.3.1, 7.0.8.1

Impact

Applications using translation methods like translate, or t on a
controller, with a key ending in "_html", a :default key which contains
untrusted user input, and the resulting string is used in a view, may be
susceptible to an XSS vulnerability.

For example, impacted code will look something like this:

class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
  def show  
    @message = t("message_html", default: untrusted_input)
    # The `show` template displays the contents of `@message`
  end
end

To reiterate the pre-conditions, applications must:

  • Use a translation function from a controller (i.e. not I18n.t, or t from
    a view)
  • Use a key that ends in _html
  • Use a default value where the default value is untrusted and unescaped input
  • Send the text to the victim (whether that's part of a template, or a
    render call)

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

There are no feasible workarounds for this issue.

Patches

To aid users who aren't able to upgrade immediately we have provided patches for
the two supported release series. They are in git-am format and consist of a
single changeset.

  • 7-0-translate-xss.patch - Patch for 7.0 series
  • 7-1-translate-xss.patch - Patch for 7.1 series

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.

๐Ÿšจ Actionpack has possible cross-site scripting vulnerability via User Supplied Values to redirect_to

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.

๐Ÿšจ Exposure of information in Action Pack

Impact

Under certain circumstances response bodies will not be closed, for example a bug in a webserver 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 of 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

๐Ÿšจ Trix Editor Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability

The Trix editor, versions prior to 2.1.1, is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution when copying and pasting content from the web or other documents with markup into the editor. The vulnerability stems from improper sanitization of pasted content, allowing an attacker to embed malicious scripts which are executed within the context of the application.

Vulnerable Versions:

  • 1.x series up to and including 1.3.1
  • 2.x series up to and including 2.1.0

Fixed Versions:

  • v1.3.2
  • v2.1.1

Vector:

  • Bug 1: When copying content manipulated by a script, such as:
document.addEventListener('copy', function(e){
  e.clipboardData.setData('text/html', '<div><noscript><div class="123</noscript>456<img src=1 onerror=alert(1)//"></div></noscript></div>');
  e.preventDefault();
});

and pasting into the Trix editor, the script within the content is executed.

  • Bug 2: Similar execution occurs with content structured as:
document.write(`copy<div data-trix-attachment="{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;text/html&quot;,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;&lt;img src=1 onerror=alert(101)&gt;HELLO123&quot;}"></div>me`);

Impact:

An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of the user's session, potentially leading to unauthorized actions being performed or sensitive information being disclosed.

Remediation:

Update Recommendation: Users should upgrade to Trix editor version 2.1.1 or later, which incorporates proper sanitization of input from copied content.

CSP Enhancement: Additionally, enhancing the Content Security Policy (CSP) to disallow inline scripts can significantly mitigate the risk of such vulnerabilities. Set CSP policies such as script-src 'self' to ensure that only scripts hosted on the same origin are executed, and explicitly prohibit inline scripts using script-src-elem.

๐Ÿšจ SQL Injection Vulnerability via ActiveRecord comments

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 wonโ€™t be used with user input and users should avoid doing so.

Example vulnerable code:

๐Ÿšจ Denial of Service Vulnerability in ActiveRecord's PostgreSQL adapter

There is a potential denial of service vulnerability present in ActiveRecordโ€™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, which is a paid service and not part of the rubygem), 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.
Releases

The fixed releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds

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

๐Ÿšจ SQL Injection Vulnerability via ActiveRecord comments

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 wonโ€™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]}")

๐Ÿšจ Active Record RCE bug with Serialized Columns

When serialized columns that use YAML (the default) are deserialized, Rails uses YAML.unsafe_load to convert the YAML data in to Ruby objects. If an attacker can manipulate data in the database (via means like SQL injection), then it may be possible for the attacker to escalate to an RCE.

There are no feasible workarounds for this issue, but other coders (such as JSON) are not impacted.

Security Advisories ๐Ÿšจ

๐Ÿšจ Active Storage allowed transformation methods that were potentially unsafe

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.

๐Ÿšจ Rails has possible Sensitive Session Information Leak in Active Storage

Possible Sensitive Session Information Leak in Active Storage

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.

๐Ÿšจ Possible XSS Security Vulnerability in SafeBuffer#bytesplice

There is a vulnerability in ActiveSupport if the new bytesplice method is called on a SafeBuffer with untrusted user input.
This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-28120.

Versions Affected: All. Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 7.0.4.3, 6.1.7.3

Impact

ActiveSupport uses the SafeBuffer string subclass to tag strings as html_safe after they have been sanitized.
When these strings are mutated, the tag is should be removed to mark them as no longer being html_safe.

Ruby 3.2 introduced a new bytesplice method which ActiveSupport did not yet understand to be a mutation.
Users on older versions of Ruby are likely unaffected.

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

Workarounds

Avoid calling bytesplice on a SafeBuffer (html_safe) string with untrusted user input.

2.21.1

2.21.1 / 2023-05-10

Fixed

  • Don't define HTML5::Document and HTML5::DocumentFragment when Nokogiri is < 1.14. In 2.21.0 these classes were defined whenever Nokogiri::HTML5 was defined, but Nokogiri v1.12 and v1.13 do not support Loofah subclassing properly.

2.21.0

2.21.0 / 2023-05-10

HTML5 Support

Classes Loofah::HTML5::Document and Loofah::HTML5::DocumentFragment are introduced, along with helper methods:

  • Loofah.html5_document
  • Loofah.html5_fragment
  • Loofah.scrub_html5_document
  • Loofah.scrub_html5_fragment

These classes and methods use Nokogiri's HTML5 parser to ensure modern web standards are used.

โš  HTML5 functionality is only available with Nokogiri v1.14.0 and higher.

โš  HTML5 functionality is not available for JRuby. Please see this upstream Nokogiri issue if you're interested in helping implement and support HTML5 support.

Loofah::HTML4 module and namespace

Loofah::HTML has been renamed to Loofah::HTML4, and Loofah::HTML is aliased to preserve backwards-compatibility. Nokogiri::HTML and Nokogiri::HTML4 parse methods still use libxml2's (or NekoHTML's) HTML4 parser.

Take special note that if you rely on the class name of an object in your code, objects will now report a class of Loofah::HTML4::Foo where they previously reported Loofah::HTML::Foo. Instead of relying on the string returned by Object#class, prefer Class#=== or Object#is_a? or Object#instance_of?.

Future releases of Nokogiri may deprecate HTML classes and methods or otherwise change this behavior, so please start using HTML4 in place of HTML.

Official support for JRuby

This version introduces official support for JRuby. Previously, the test suite had never been green due to differences in behavior in the underlying HTML parser used by Nokogiri. We've updated the test suite to accommodate those differences, and have added JRuby to the CI suite.

2.20.0

  • New methods #lib_path and #include_path which point at the installed directories under ports. (by @flavorjones)
  • Add config param for CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, which now defaults to Release. (#136 by @Watson1978)

Experimental

Introduce experimental support for MiniPortile#mkmf_config which sets up MakeMakefile variables to properly link against the recipe. This should make it easier for C extensions to package third-party libraries. (by @flavorjones)

  • With no arguments, will set up just $INCFLAGS, $libs, and $LIBPATH.
  • Optionally, if provided a pkg-config file, will use that config to more precisely set $INCFLAGS, $libs, $LIBPATH, and $CFLAGS/$CXXFLAGS.
  • Optionally, if provided the name of a static archive, will rewrite linker flags to ensure correct linkage.

Note that the behavior may change slightly before official support is announced. Please comment on #118 if you have feedback.

2.8.4

2.8.4 / 2023-07-18

  • cmake: set CMAKE compile flags to configure cross-compilation similarly to autotools --host flag: SYSTEM_NAME, SYSTEM_PROCESSOR, C_COMPILER, and CXX_COMPILER. [#130] (Thanks, @stanhu!)

2.8.3

2.8.3 / 2023-07-18

Fixed

  • cmake: only use MSYS/NMake generators when available. [#129] (Thanks, @stanhu!)

2.8.2

2.8.2 / 2023-04-30

Fixed

  • Ensure that the source_directory option will work when given a Windows path to an autoconf directory. [#126]

2.8.1

2.8.1 / 2022-12-24

Fixed

  • Support applying patches via git apply even when the working directory resembles a git directory. [#119] (Thanks, @h0tw1r3!)

Security Advisories ๐Ÿšจ

๐Ÿšจ Nokogiri patches vendored libxml2 to resolve multiple CVEs

Summary

Nokogiri v1.18.9 patches the vendored libxml2 to address CVE-2025-6021, CVE-2025-6170, CVE-2025-49794, CVE-2025-49795, and CVE-2025-49796.

Impact and severity

CVE-2025-6021

A flaw was found in libxml2's xmlBuildQName function, where integer overflows in buffer size calculations can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. This issue can result in memory corruption or a denial of service when processing crafted input.

NVD claims a severity of 7.5 High (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Fixed by applying https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/17d950ae

CVE-2025-6170

A flaw was found in the interactive shell of the xmllint command-line tool, used for parsing XML files. When a user inputs an overly long command, the program does not check the input size properly, which can cause it to crash. This issue might allow attackers to run harmful code in rare configurations without modern protections.

NVD claims a severity of 2.5 Low (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

Fixed by applying https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/5e9ec5c1

CVE-2025-49794

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in libxml2. This issue occurs when parsing XPath elements under certain circumstances when the XML schematron has the <sch:name path="..."/> schema elements. This flaw allows a malicious actor to craft a malicious XML document used as input for libxml, resulting in the program's crash using libxml or other possible undefined behaviors.

NVD claims a severity of 9.1 Critical (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H)

Fixed by applying https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/81cef8c5

CVE-2025-49795

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in libxml2 when processing XPath XML expressions. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious XML input to libxml2, leading to a denial of service.

NVD claims a severity of 7.5 High (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Fixed by applying https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/62048278

CVE-2025-49796

A vulnerability was found in libxml2. Processing certain sch:name elements from the input XML file can trigger a memory corruption issue. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious XML input file that can lead libxml to crash, resulting in a denial of service or other possible undefined behavior due to sensitive data being corrupted in memory.

NVD claims a severity of 9.1 Critical (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H)

Fixed by applying https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/81cef8c5

Affected Versions

  • Nokogiri < 1.18.9 when using CRuby (MRI) with vendored libxml2

Patched Versions

  • Nokogiri >= 1.18.9

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri v1.18.9 or later.

Users who are unable to upgrade Nokogiri may also choose a more complicated mitigation: compile and link Nokogiri against patched external libxml2 libraries which will also address these same issues.

References

๐Ÿšจ Nokogiri updates packaged libxml2 to v2.13.8 to resolve CVE-2025-32414 and CVE-2025-32415

Summary

Nokogiri v1.18.8 upgrades its dependency libxml2 to v2.13.8.

libxml2 v2.13.8 addresses:

Impact

CVE-2025-32414: No impact

In libxml2 before 2.13.8 and 2.14.x before 2.14.2, out-of-bounds memory access can occur in the Python API (Python bindings) because of an incorrect return value. This occurs in xmlPythonFileRead and xmlPythonFileReadRaw because of a difference between bytes and characters.

There is no impact from this CVE for Nokogiri users.

CVE-2025-32415: Low impact

In libxml2 before 2.13.8 and 2.14.x before 2.14.2, xmlSchemaIDCFillNodeTables in xmlschemas.c has a heap-based buffer under-read. To exploit this, a crafted XML document must be validated against an XML schema with certain identity constraints, or a crafted XML schema must be used.

In the upstream issue, further context is provided by the maintainer:

The bug affects validation against untrusted XML Schemas (.xsd) and validation of untrusted
documents against trusted Schemas if they make use of xsd:keyref in combination with recursively
defined types that have additional identity constraints.

MITRE has published a severity score of 2.9 LOW (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) for this CVE.

๐Ÿšจ Nokogiri updates packaged libxslt to v1.1.43 to resolve multiple CVEs

Summary

Nokogiri v1.18.4 upgrades its dependency libxslt to v1.1.43.

libxslt v1.1.43 resolves:

Impact

CVE-2025-24855

CVE-2024-55549

๐Ÿšจ Nokogiri updates packaged libxml2 to 2.13.6 to resolve CVE-2025-24928 and CVE-2024-56171

Summary

Nokogiri v1.18.3 upgrades its dependency libxml2 to v2.13.6.

libxml2 v2.13.6 addresses:

Impact

CVE-2025-24928

Stack-buffer overflow is possible when reporting DTD validation errors if the input contains a long (~3kb) QName prefix.

CVE-2024-56171

Use-after-free is possible during validation against untrusted XML Schemas (.xsd) and, potentially, validation of untrusted documents against trusted Schemas if they make use of xsd:keyref in combination with recursively defined types that have additional identity constraints.

๐Ÿšจ Nokogiri updates packaged libxml2 to v2.12.7 to resolve CVE-2024-34459

Summary

Nokogiri v1.16.5 upgrades its dependency libxml2 to 2.12.7 from 2.12.6.

libxml2 v2.12.7 addresses CVE-2024-34459:

Impact

There is no impact to Nokogiri users because the issue is present only in libxml2's xmllint tool which Nokogiri does not provide or expose.

Timeline

  • 2024-05-13 05:57 EDT, libxml2 2.12.7 release is announced
  • 2024-05-13 08:30 EDT, nokogiri maintainers begin triage
  • 2024-05-13 10:05 EDT, nokogiri v1.16.5 is released and this GHSA made public

๐Ÿšจ Nokogiri update packaged libxml2 to v2.12.5 to resolve CVE-2024-25062

Summary

Nokogiri upgrades its dependency libxml2 as follows:

  • Nokogiri v1.15.6 upgrades libxml2 to 2.11.7 from 2.11.6
  • Nokogiri v1.16.2 upgrades libxml2 to 2.12.5 from 2.12.4

libxml2 v2.11.7 and v2.12.5 address the following vulnerability:

Please note that this advisory only applies to the CRuby implementation of Nokogiri, and only if the packaged libraries are being used. If you've overridden defaults at installation time to use system libraries instead of packaged libraries, you should instead pay attention to your distro's libxml2 release announcements.

JRuby users are not affected.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri ~> 1.15.6 or >= 1.16.2.

Users who are unable to upgrade Nokogiri may also choose a more complicated mitigation: compile
and link Nokogiri against patched external libxml2 libraries which will also address these same
issues.

Impact

From the CVE description, this issue applies to the xmlTextReader module (which underlies Nokogiri::XML::Reader):

When using the XML Reader interface with DTD validation and XInclude expansion enabled, processing crafted XML documents can lead to an xmlValidatePopElement use-after-free.

Timeline

๐Ÿšจ Nokogiri updates packaged libxml2 to v2.10.4 to resolve multiple CVEs

Summary

Nokogiri v1.14.3 upgrades the packaged version of its dependency libxml2 to v2.10.4 from v2.10.3.

libxml2 v2.10.4 addresses the following known vulnerabilities:

  • CVE-2023-29469: Hashing of empty dict strings isn't deterministic
  • CVE-2023-28484: Fix null deref in xmlSchemaFixupComplexType
  • Schemas: Fix null-pointer-deref in xmlSchemaCheckCOSSTDerivedOK

Please note that this advisory only applies to the CRuby implementation of Nokogiri < 1.14.3, and only if the packaged libraries are being used. If you've overridden defaults at installation time to use system libraries instead of packaged libraries, you should instead pay attention to your distro's libxml2 release announcements.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.14.3.

Users who are unable to upgrade Nokogiri may also choose a more complicated mitigation: compile and link Nokogiri against external libraries libxml2 >= 2.10.4 which will also address these same issues.

Impact

No public information has yet been published about the security-related issues other than the upstream commits. Examination of those changesets indicate that the more serious issues relate to libxml2 dereferencing NULL pointers and potentially segfaulting while parsing untrusted inputs.

๐Ÿšจ ReDoS Vulnerability in Rack::Multipart handle_mime_head

Summary

There is a denial of service vulnerability in the Content-Disposition parsing component of Rack. This is very similar to the previous security issue CVE-2022-44571.

Details

Carefully crafted input can cause Content-Disposition header parsing in Rack to take an unexpected amount of time, possibly resulting in a denial of service attack vector. This header is used typically used in multipart parsing. Any applications that parse multipart posts using Rack (virtually all Rails applications) are impacted.

๐Ÿšจ Rack session gets restored after deletion

Summary

When using the Rack::Session::Pool middleware, simultaneous rack requests can restore a deleted rack session, which allows the unauthenticated user to occupy that session.

Details

Rack session middleware prepares the session at the beginning of request, then saves is back to the store with possible changes applied by host rack application. This way the session becomes to be a subject of race conditions in general sense over concurrent rack requests.

Impact

When using the Rack::Session::Pool middleware, and provided the attacker can acquire a session cookie (already a major issue), the session may be restored if the attacker can trigger a long running request (within that same session) adjacent to the user logging out, in order to retain illicit access even after a user has attempted to logout.

Mitigation

  • Update to the latest version of rack, or
  • Ensure your application invalidates sessions atomically by marking them as logged out e.g., using a logged_out flag, instead of deleting them, and check this flag on every request to prevent reuse, or
  • Implement a custom session store that tracks session invalidation timestamps and refuses to accept session data if the session was invalidated after the request began.

Related

As this code was moved to rack-session in Rack 3+, see GHSA-9j94-67jr-4cqj for the equivalent advisory in rack-session (affecting Rack 3+ only).

๐Ÿšจ Rack has an Unbounded-Parameter DoS in Rack::QueryParser

Summary

Rack::QueryParser parses query strings and application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies into Ruby data structures without imposing any limit on the number of parameters, allowing attackers to send requests with extremely large numbers of parameters.

Details

The vulnerability arises because Rack::QueryParser iterates over each &-separated key-value pair and adds it to a Hash without enforcing an upper bound on the total number of parameters. This allows an attacker to send a single request containing hundreds of thousands (or more) of parameters, which consumes excessive memory and CPU during parsing.

Impact

An attacker can trigger denial of service by sending specifically crafted HTTP requests, which can cause memory exhaustion or pin CPU resources, stalling or crashing the Rack server. This results in full service disruption until the affected worker is restarted.

Mitigation

  • Update to a version of Rack that limits the number of parameters parsed, or
  • Use middleware to enforce a maximum query string size or parameter count, or
  • Employ a reverse proxy (such as Nginx) to limit request sizes and reject oversized query strings or bodies.

Limiting request body sizes and query string lengths at the web server or CDN level is an effective mitigation.

๐Ÿšจ Local File Inclusion in Rack::Static

Summary

Rack::Static can serve files under the specified root: even if urls: are provided, which may expose other files under the specified root: unexpectedly.

Details

The vulnerability occurs because Rack::Static does not properly sanitize user-supplied paths before serving files. Specifically, encoded path traversal sequences are not correctly validated, allowing attackers to access files outside the designated static file directory.

Impact

By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can gain access to all files under the specified root: directory, provided they are able to determine then path of the file.

Mitigation

  • Update to the latest version of Rack, or
  • Remove usage of Rack::Static, or
  • Ensure that root: points at a directory path which only contains files which should be accessed publicly.

It is likely that a CDN or similar static file server would also mitigate the issue.

๐Ÿšจ Escape Sequence Injection vulnerability in Rack lead to Possible Log Injection

Summary

Rack::Sendfile can be exploited by crafting input that includes newline characters to manipulate log entries.

Details

The Rack::Sendfile middleware logs unsanitized header values from the X-Sendfile-Type header. An attacker can exploit this by injecting escape sequences (such as newline characters) into the header, resulting in log injection.

Impact

This vulnerability can distort log files, obscure attack traces, and complicate security auditing.

Mitigation

  • Update to the latest version of Rack, or
  • Remove usage of Rack::Sendfile.

๐Ÿšจ Possible Log Injection in Rack::CommonLogger

Summary

Rack::CommonLogger can be exploited by crafting input that includes newline characters to manipulate log entries. The supplied proof-of-concept demonstrates injecting malicious content into logs.

Details

When a user provides the authorization credentials via Rack::Auth::Basic, if success, the username will be put in env['REMOTE_USER'] and later be used by Rack::CommonLogger for logging purposes.

The issue occurs when a server intentionally or unintentionally allows a user creation with the username contain CRLF and white space characters, or the server just want to log every login attempts. If an attacker enters a username with CRLF character, the logger will log the malicious username with CRLF characters into the logfile.

Impact

Attackers can break log formats or insert fraudulent entries, potentially obscuring real activity or injecting malicious data into log files.

Mitigation

  • Update to the latest version of Rack.

๐Ÿšจ Rack ReDoS Vulnerability in HTTP Accept Headers Parsing

Summary

A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability exists in the Rack::Request::Helpers module when parsing HTTP Accept headers. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker sending specially crafted Accept-Encoding or Accept-Language headers, causing the server to spend excessive time processing the request and leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).

Details

The fix for GHSA-54rr-7fvw-6x8f was not applied to the main branch and thus while the issue was fixed for the Rack v3.0 release series, it was not fixed in the v3.1 release series until v3.1.5.

๐Ÿšจ Rack vulnerable to ReDoS in content type parsing (2nd degree polynomial)

Summary

module Rack
  class MediaType
    SPLIT_PATTERN = %r{\s*[;,]\s*}

The above regexp is subject to ReDos. 50K blank characters as a prefix to the header will take over 10s to split.

PoC

A simple HTTP request with lots of blank characters in the content-type header:

request["Content-Type"] = (" " * 50_000) + "a,"

Impact

It's a very easy to craft ReDoS. Like all ReDoS the impact is debatable.

    • Arrays of cookies containing a blank cookie are now handled correctly when processing responses. (Martin Emde #343)
    • Rack::Test::UploadedFile no longer uses a finalizer for named paths to close and unlink the created Tempfile. Tempfile itself uses a finalizer to close and unlink itself, so there is no reason for Rack::Test::UploadedFile to do so (Jeremy Evans #338)

2.1.0 (from changelog)

  • Breaking changes:

    • Digest authentication support, deprecated in 2.0.0, has been removed (Jeremy Evans #307)

2.0.1 (from changelog)

  • Bug fixes:
    • Fix incompatible character encodings error when building uploaded file bodies (Jeremy Evans #308 #309)

    • Previously protected methods in Rack::Test::Cookie{,Jar} are now private methods (Jeremy Evans #297)
    • Rack::Test::Methods no longer defines build_rack_mock_session, but for backwards compatibility, build_rack_test_session will call build_rack_mock_session if it is defined (Jeremy Evans #297)
    • Rack::Test::Methods::METHODS is no longer defined (Jeremy Evans #297)
    • Rack::Test::Methods#_current_session_names has been removed (Jeremy Evans #297)
    • Headers used/accessed by rack-test are now lower case, for rack 3 compliance (Jeremy Evans #295)
    • Frozen literal strings are now used internally, which may break code that mutates static strings returned by rack-test, if any (Jeremy Evans #304)
  • Minor enhancements:

    • rack-test now works with the rack main branch (what will be rack 3) (Jeremy Evans #280 #292)
    • rack-test only loads the parts of rack it uses when running on the rack main branch (what will be rack 3) (Jeremy Evans #292)
    • Development dependencies have been significantly reduced, and are now a subset of the development dependencies of rack itself (Jeremy Evans #292)
    • Avoid creating multiple large copies of uploaded file data in memory (Jeremy Evans #286)
    • Specify HTTP/1.0 when submitting requests, to avoid responses with Transfer-Encoding: chunked (Jeremy Evans #288)

    • Force multipart input for request methods if content type starts with multipart (Jeremy Evans #303)
    • Improve performance of Utils.build_multipart by using an append-only design (Jeremy Evans #304)
    • Improve performance of Utils.build_nested_query for array values (Jeremy Evans #304)
  • Bug fixes:

    • The CONTENT_TYPE of multipart requests is now respected, if it starts with multipart/ (Tom Knig #238)
    • Work correctly with responses that respond to to_a but not to_ary (Sergio Faria #276)
    • Raise an ArgumentError instead of a TypeError when providing a StringIO without an original filename when creating an UploadedFile (Nuno Correia #279)
    • Allow combining both an UploadedFile and a plain string when building a multipart upload (Mitsuhiro Shibuya #278)
    • Fix the generation of filenames with spaces to use path escaping instead of regular escaping, since path unescaping is used to decode it (Muir Manders, Jeremy Evans #275 #284)
    • Rewind tempfile used for multipart uploads before it is submitted to the application (Jeremy Evans, Alexander Dervish #261 #268 #286)
    • Fix Rack::Test.encoding_aware_strings to be true only on rack 1.6+ (Jeremy Evans #292)
    • Make Rack::Test::CookieJar#valid? return true/false (Jeremy Evans #292)
    • Cookies without a domain attribute no longer are submitted to requests for subdomains of that domain, for RFC 6265 compliance (Jeremy Evans #292)
    • Increase required rack version to 1.3, since tests fail on rack 1.2 and below (Jeremy Evans #293)

๐Ÿšจ rails-html-sanitize has XSS vulnerability with certain configurations

Summary

There is a possible XSS vulnerability with certain configurations of Rails::HTML::Sanitizer 1.6.0 when used with Rails >= 7.1.0 and Nokogiri < 1.15.7, or 1.16.x < 1.16.8.

  • Versions affected: 1.6.0
  • Not affected: < 1.6.0
  • Fixed versions: 1.6.1

Please note that the fix in v1.6.1 is to update the dependency on Nokogiri to 1.15.7 or >= 1.16.8.

Impact

A possible XSS vulnerability with certain configurations of Rails::HTML::Sanitizer may allow an attacker to inject content if HTML5 sanitization is enabled and the application developer has overridden the sanitizer's allowed tags in either of the following ways:

  • allow both "math" and "style" elements
  • or allow both "svg" and "style" elements

Code is only impacted if Rails is configured to use HTML5 sanitization, please see documentation for config.action_view.sanitizer_vendor and config.action_text.sanitizer_vendor for more information on these configuration options.

Code is only impacted if allowed tags are being overridden. Applications may be doing this in a few different ways:

  1. using application configuration to configure Action View sanitizers' allowed tags:
# In config/application.rb
config.action_view.sanitized_allowed_tags = ["math", "style"]
# or
config.action_view.sanitized_allowed_tags = ["svg", "style"]

see https://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#configuring-action-view

  1. using a :tags option to the Action View helper sanitize:
<%= sanitize @comment.body, tags: ["math", "style"] %>
<%# or %>
<%= sanitize @comment.body, tags: ["svg", "style"] %>

see https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/SanitizeHelper.html#method-i-sanitize

  1. setting Rails::HTML5::SafeListSanitizer class attribute allowed_tags:
# class-level option
Rails::HTML5::SafeListSanitizer.allowed_tags = ["math", "style"]
# or
Rails::HTML5::SafeListSanitizer.allowed_tags = ["svg", "style"]

(note that this class may also be referenced as Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer)

  1. using a :tags options to the Rails::HTML5::SafeListSanitizer instance method sanitize:
# instance-level option
Rails::HTML5::SafeListSanitizer.new.sanitize(@article.body, tags: ["math", "style"])
# or
Rails::HTML5::SafeListSanitizer.new.sanitize(@article.body, tags: ["svg", "style"])

(note that this class may also be referenced as Rails::Html::SafeListSanitizer)

  1. setting ActionText::ContentHelper module attribute allowed_tags:
ActionText::ContentHelper.allowed_tags = ["math", "style"]
# or
ActionText::ContentHelper.allowed_tags = ["svg", "style"]

All users overriding the allowed tags by any of the above mechanisms to include (("math" or "svg") and "style") should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds.

Workarounds

Any one of the following actions will work around this issue:

Release Notes

1.6.2

v1.6.2 / 2024-12-12

  • PermitScrubber fully supports frozen "allowed tags".

    v1.6.1 introduced safety checks that may remove unsafe tags from the allowed list, which
    introduced a regression for applications passing a frozen array of allowed tags. Tags and
    attributes are now properly copied when they are passed to the scrubber.

    Fixes #195.

    Mike Dalessio

1.6.1

1.6.1 / 2024-12-02

This is a performance and security release which addresses several possible XSS vulnerabilities.

  • The dependency on Nokogiri is updated to v1.15.7 or >=1.16.8.

    This change addresses CVE-2024-53985 (GHSA-w8gc-x259-rc7x).

    Mike Dalessio

  • Disallowed tags will be pruned when they appear in foreign content (i.e. SVG or MathML content),
    regardless of the prune: option value. Previously, disallowed tags were "stripped" unless the
    gem was configured with the prune: true option.

    The CVEs addressed by this change are:

    Mike Dalessio

  • The tags "noscript", "mglyph", and "malignmark" will not be allowed, even if explicitly added to
    the allowlist. If applications try to allow any of these tags, a warning is emitted and the tags
    are removed from the allow-list.

    The CVEs addressed by this change are:

    Please note that we may restore support for allowing "noscript" in a future release. We do not
    expect to ever allow "mglyph" or "malignmark", though, especially since browser support is minimal
    for these tags.

    Mike Dalessio

  • Improve performance by eliminating needless operations on attributes that are being removed. #188

    Mike Dalessio

1.6.0

1.6.0 / 2023-05-26

  • Dependencies have been updated:

    • Loofah ~>2.21 and Nokogiri ~>1.14 for HTML5 parser support
    • As a result, required Ruby version is now >= 2.7.0

    Security updates will continue to be made on the 1.5.x release branch as long as Rails 6.1
    (which supports Ruby 2.5) is still in security support.

    Mike Dalessio

  • HTML5 standards-compliant sanitizers are now available on platforms supported by
    Nokogiri::HTML5. These are available as:

    • Rails::HTML5::FullSanitizer
    • Rails::HTML5::LinkSanitizer
    • Rails::HTML5::SafeListSanitizer

    And a new "vendor" is provided at Rails::HTML5::Sanitizer that can be used in a future version
    of Rails.

    Note that for symmetry Rails::HTML4::Sanitizer is also added, though its behavior is identical
    to the vendor class methods on Rails::HTML::Sanitizer.

    Users may call Rails::HTML::Sanitizer.best_supported_vendor to get back the HTML5 vendor if it's
    supported, else the legacy HTML4 vendor.

    Mike Dalessio

  • Module namespaces have changed, but backwards compatibility is provided by aliases.

    The library defines three additional modules:

    • Rails::HTML for general functionality (replacing Rails::Html)
    • Rails::HTML4 containing sanitizers that parse content as HTML4
    • Rails::HTML5 containing sanitizers that parse content as HTML5

    The following aliases are maintained for backwards compatibility:

    • Rails::Html points to Rails::HTML
    • Rails::HTML::FullSanitizer points to Rails::HTML4::FullSanitizer
    • Rails::HTML::LinkSanitizer points to Rails::HTML4::LinkSanitizer
    • Rails::HTML::SafeListSanitizer points to Rails::HTML4::SafeListSanitizer

    Mike Dalessio

  • LinkSanitizer always returns UTF-8 encoded strings. SafeListSanitizer and FullSanitizer
    already ensured this encoding.

    Mike Dalessio

  • SafeListSanitizer allows time tag and lang attribute by default.

    Mike Dalessio

  • The constant Rails::Html::XPATHS_TO_REMOVE has been removed. It's not necessary with the
    existing sanitizers, and should have been a private constant all along anyway.

    Mike Dalessio

1.5.0

1.5.0 / 2023-01-20

  • SafeListSanitizer, PermitScrubber, and TargetScrubber now all support pruning of unsafe tags.

    By default, unsafe tags are still stripped, but this behavior can be changed to prune the element
    and its children from the document by passing prune: true to any of these classes' constructors.
