Action Pack contains Information Disclosure / Unintended Method Execution vulnerability
Impact
------
There is a possible information disclosure / unintended method execution vulnerability in Action Pack when using the `redirect_to` or `polymorphic_url` helper with untrusted user input.
Vulnerable code will look like this.
```
redirect_to(params[:some_param])
```
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
-----------
To work around this problem, it is recommended to use an allow list for valid parameters passed from the user. For example,
```ruby
private def check(param)
case param
when "valid"
param
else
"/"
end
end
def index
redirect_to(check(params[:some_param]))
end
```
Or force the user input to be cast to a string like this,
```ruby
def index
redirect_to(params[:some_param].to_s)
end
```
