IDs: CVE-2015-2179, GHSA-88p8-4vv5-82j7
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2015-2179 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:48 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- RubyGems xaviershay-dm-rails: affected <= 1.2.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- RubyGems xaviershay-dm-rails: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on xaviershay-dm-rails.

- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
