Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Oct 24, 2017 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Aug 28, 2023

Package

bundler web-console (RubyGems)

Affected versions

< 2.1.3

Patched versions

2.1.3

Description

request.rb in Web Console before 2.1.3, as used with Ruby on Rails 3.x and 4.x, does not properly restrict the use of X-Forwarded-For headers in determining a client's IP address, which allows remote attackers to bypass the whitelisted_ips protection mechanism via a crafted request.
