CVE-2024-47887 - Medium Severity Vulnerability
Web apps on Rails. Simple, battle-tested conventions for building and testing MVC web applications. Works with any Rack-compatible server.
Library home page: https://rubygems.org/gems/actionpack-7.2.1.gem
Path to dependency file: /Gemfile.lock
Path to vulnerable library: /home/wss-scanner/.gem/ruby/3.2.0/cache/actionpack-7.2.1.gem
Dependency Hierarchy: - rspec-rails-5.1.2.gem (Root Library) - :x: **actionpack-7.2.1.gem** (Vulnerable Library)
Found in base branch: master
Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. Starting in version 4.0.0 and prior to versions 6.1.7.9, 7.0.8.5, 7.1.4.1, and 7.2.1.1, there is a possible ReDoS vulnerability in Action Controller's HTTP Token authentication. For applications using HTTP Token authentication via `authenticate_or_request_with_http_token` or similar, a carefully crafted header may cause header parsing to take an unexpected amount of time, possibly resulting in a DoS vulnerability. All users running an affected release should either upgrade to versions 6.1.7.9, 7.0.8.5, 7.1.4.1, or 7.2.1.1 or apply the relevant patch immediately. One may choose to use Ruby 3.2 as a workaround.Ruby 3.2 has mitigations for this problem, so Rails applications using Ruby 3.2 or newer are unaffected. Rails 8.0.0.beta1 depends on Ruby 3.2 or greater so is unaffected.
