- Impact This vulnerability impacts any Rails applications using railsmultisite alongside Rails' signed/encrypted cookies. Depending on how the application makes use of these cookies, it may be possible for an attacker to re-use cookies on different 'sites' within a multi-site Rails application. Patches The issue has been patched in v4 of the railsmultisite gem. Note that this upgrade will invalidate all previous signed/encrypted cookies. The impact of this invalidation will vary based on the application architecture.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.0.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
