Possible XSS Security Vulnerability in SafeBuffer#bytesplice There is a vulnerability in ActiveSupport if the new bytesplice method is called on a SafeBuffer with untrusted user input. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-28120. Versions Affected: All. Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 7.0.4.3, 6.1.7.3 # Impact ActiveSupport uses the SafeBuffer string subclass to tag strings as html_safe after they have been sanitized. When these strings are mutated, the tag is should be removed to mark them as no longer being html_safe. Ruby 3.2 introduced a new bytesplice method which ActiveSupport did not yet understand to be a mutation. Users on older versions of Ruby are likely unaffected. All users running an affected release and using bytesplice should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately. # Workarounds Avoid calling bytesplice on a SafeBuffer (html_safe) string with untrusted user input.

ReDoS based DoS vulnerability in Active Support's underscore There is a possible regular expression based DoS vulnerability in Active Support. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-22796. Versions Affected: All Not affected: None Fixed Versions: 5.2.8.15 (Rails LTS, which is a paid service and not part of the rubygem), 6.1.7.1, 7.0.4.1 Impact A specially crafted string passed to the underscore method can cause the regular expression engine to enter a state of catastrophic backtracking. This can cause the process to use large amounts of CPU and memory, leading to a possible DoS vulnerability. This affects String#underscore, ActiveSupport::Inflector.underscore, String#titleize, and any other methods using these. 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 There are no feasible workarounds for this issue. Users on Ruby 3.2.0 or greater may be able to reduce the impact by configuring Regexp.timeout. Patches To aid users who aren’t able to upgrade immediately we have provided patches for the two supported release series. They are in git-am format and consist of a single changeset. 6-1-Avoid-regex-backtracking-in-Inflector.underscore.patch - Patch for 6.1 series 7-0-Avoid-regex-backtracking-in-Inflector.underscore.patch - Patch for 7.0 series Please note that only the 7.0.Z and 6.1.Z series are supported at present, and 6.0.Z for severe vulnerabilities. Users of earlier unsupported releases are advised to upgrade as soon as possible as we cannot guarantee the continued availability of security fixes for unsupported releases.

CVE-2023-38037
GHSA-cr5q-6q9f-rq6q
Active Support Possibly Discloses Locally Encrypted Files There is a possible file disclosure of locally encrypted files in Active Support. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2023-38037. Versions Affected: >= 5.2.0 Not affected: < 5.2.0 Fixed Versions: 7.0.7.1, 6.1.7.5 # Impact ActiveSupport::EncryptedFile writes contents that will be encrypted to a temporary file. The temporary file’s permissions are defaulted to the user’s current umask settings, meaning that it’s possible for other users on the same system to read the contents of the temporary file. Attackers that have access to the file system could possibly read the contents of this temporary file while a user is editing it. 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 issue, you can set your umask to be more restrictive like this: ```ruby $ umask 0077 ```
