Incomplete fix to CVE-2013-0155 (Unsafe Query Generation Risk)

Due to the way that Rack::Request and Rails::Request interact, it is possible for a 3rd party or custom rack middleware to parse the parameters insecurely and store them in the same key that Rails uses for its own parameters. In the event that happens the application will receive unsafe parameter...

Possible DoS Vulnerability

A carefully crafted email address in conjunction with the Action Mailer logger format string could take advantage of a bug in Ruby's sprintf implementation and possibly lead to a denial of service attack. Impacted Ruby code will look something like this: "some string userinput" % somenumber...

DOS via large passwords

The authentication framework django.contrib.auth computes the hash of a password each time a user attempts to log in, no matter the length of the password. Thus, a remote attacker can cause a denial of service CPU consumption by repeatedly submitting long passwords...

Directory traversal with ssi template tag

Directory traversal vulnerability allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a file path in the ALLOWEDINCLUDEROOTS setting followed by a .. in a ssi template tag...

Symbol DoS vulnerability in Active Record

When a hash is provided as the find value for a query, the keys of the hash may be converted to symbols. Carefully crafted requests can coerce params:name to return a hash, and the keys to that hash may be converted to symbols. All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use on...

Carefully crafted text can bypass the sanitization provided in the sanitizecss method in Action Pack...

SQL Injection

ActiveRecord-JDBC-Adapter AR-JDBC contains a flaw that may allow carrying out an SQL injection attack.

Vulnerability in JSON Parser in Ruby on Rails 3.0 and 2.3

There is a vulnerability in the JSON code for Ruby on Rails which allows attackers to bypass authentication systems, inject arbitrary SQL, inject and execute arbitrary code, or perform a DoS attack on a Rails application...

Unsafe Query Generation Risk in Ruby on Rails

Due to the way Active Record interprets parameters in combination with the way that JSON parameters are parsed, it is possible for an attacker to issue unexpected database queries with "IS NULL" or empty where clauses. This issue does not let an attacker insert arbitrary values into an SQL query,...

Multiple vulnerabilities in parameter parsing in Action Pack

There are multiple weaknesses in the parameter parsing code for Ruby on Rails which allows attackers to bypass authentication systems, inject arbitrary SQL, inject and execute arbitrary code, or perform a DoS attack on a Rails application...

Potential XSS Vulnerability in Ruby on Rails

The HTML escaping code in Ruby on Rails does not escape all potentially dangerous characters. In particular the code does not escape the single quote character. The helpers used in Rails itself never use single quotes, so most applications are unlikely to be vulnerable, however all users running ...

Ruby on Rails Potential XSS Vulnerability in select_tag prompt

When a value for the prompt field is supplied to the selecttag helper, the value is not escaped. If untrusted data is not escaped, and is supplied as the prompt value, there is a potential for XSS attacks...

SQL Injection

Ruby on Rails contains a flaw related to the way ActiveRecord handles parameters in conjunction with the way Rack parses query parameters. This issue may allow an attacker to inject arbitrary IS NULL clauses in to application SQL queries. This may also allow an attacker to have the SQL query chec...

SQL injection vulnerability in Active Record

Due to the way Active Record handles nested query parameters, an attacker can use a specially crafted request to inject some forms of SQL into your application's SQL queries...

Direct Manipulation XSS

Ruby on Rails contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting XSS attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate direct manipulations of SafeBuffer objects via '' and other methods. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted request that would execute...

XSS via posted select tag options

Ruby on Rails is vulnerable to remote cross-site scripting because the application does not validate manually generated select tag options upon submission to actionpack/lib/actionview/helpers/formoptionshelper.rb. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted request that would execute...
