🚨 Your version of rack has known security vulnerabilities 🚨

Advisory: CVE-2018-16471 Disclosed: November 05, 2018 URL: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ruby-security-ann/NAalCee8n6o

Possible XSS vulnerability in Rack

There is a possible vulnerability in Rack. This vulnerability has been
assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2018-16471.

Versions Affected: All.
Not affected: None.
Fixed Versions: 2.0.6, 1.6.11

Impact

There is a possible XSS vulnerability in Rack. Carefully crafted requests can
impact the data returned by the scheme method on Rack::Request.
Applications that expect the scheme to be limited to "http" or "https" and do
not escape the return value could be vulnerable to an XSS attack.

Vulnerable code looks something like this:

<%= request.scheme.html_safe %>

Note that applications using the normal escaping mechanisms provided by Rails
may not impacted, but applications that bypass the escaping mechanisms, or do
not use them may be vulnerable.

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the
workarounds immediately.

Releases

The 2.0.6 and 1.6.11 releases are available at the normal locations.

Workarounds

The following monkey patch can be applied to work around this issue:

require "rack"
require "rack/request"
class Rack::Request
SCHEME_WHITELIST = %w(https http).freeze
def scheme
if get_header(Rack::HTTPS) == 'on'
'https'
elsif get_header(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SSL) == 'on'
'https'
elsif forwarded_scheme
forwarded_scheme
else
get_header(Rack::RACK_URL_SCHEME)
end
end
def forwarded_scheme
scheme_headers = [
get_header(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_SCHEME),
get_header(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO).to_s.split(',')[0]
]
scheme_headers.each do |header|
return header if SCHEME_WHITELIST.include?(header)
end
nil
end
end
