Web Console (Ruby gem) contains whitelisted_ips bypass
CVE-2015-3224 · GHSA-67j6-xv27-w6ww
- Affected
- RubyGems web-console < 2.1.3
- Fixed in
- 2.1.3· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- 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 whitelistedips protection mechanism via a crafted request.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.1.3 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
