Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2021-04-07 11:04 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:04 – Source websiteRuby on Rails is a full-stack web framework optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It encourages beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration.
Security Fix(es):
A deserialization of untrusted data vulnernerability exists in rails < 5.2.4.3, rails < 6.0.3.1 that can allow an attacker to unmarshal user-provided objects in MemCacheStore and RedisCacheStore potentially resulting in an RCE.(CVE-2020-8165)
A client side enforcement of server side security vulnerability exists in rails < 5.2.4.2 and rails < 6.0.3.1 ActiveStorages S3 adapter that allows the Content-Length of a direct file upload to be modified by an end user bypassing upload limits.(CVE-2020-8162)
