- Issue
- The Authlogic gem for Ruby on Rails prior to version 3.3.0 makes potentially unsafe findbyid method calls, which might allow remote attackers to conduct CVE-2012-6496 SQL injection attacks via a crafted parameter in environments that have a known secrettoken value, as demonstrated by a value contained in secrettoken.rb in an open-source product.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.3.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
