RISK: High Risk
TYPE: Servers - Internet App Servers
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Ruby on Rails. A remote user can generate unsafe queries, bypass authentication systems, inject SQL commands, inject and execute arbitrary code, and cause denial of service conditions.
- A remote user can supply a specially crafted data to exploit an Active Record validation flaw and JSON parameter parsing bug to potentially issue unexpected database queries with "IS NULL" or empty where clauses.
- The parameter parsing code does not properly cast values from strings to certain data types, which may allow a remote user to compromise a target Rails application.
Impact
- Cross-Site Scripting
- Denial of Service
- Remote Code Execution
- Security Restriction Bypass
System / Technologies affected
