# File lib/dawn/kb/osvdb_132234.rb, line 10 def initialize title = "rack-attack Gem for Ruby missing normalization before request path processing" message = "When using rack-attack with a rails app, developers expect the request path to be normalized. In particular, trailing slashes are stripped so a request path \"/login/\" becomes \"/login\" by the time you're in ActionController. Since Rack::Attack runs before ActionDispatch, the request path is not yet normalized. This can cause throttles and blacklists to not work as expected. E.g., a throttle: throttle('logins', ...) {|req| req.path == \"/login\" } would not match a request to '/login/', though Rails would route '/login/' to the same '/login' action." super({ :title=>title, :name=> "OSVDB_132234", :cve=>"", :osvdb=>"132234", :cvss=>"", :release_date => Date.new(2015, 12, 15), :cwe=>"", :owasp=>"A9", :applies=>["rails"], :kind=>Dawn::KnowledgeBase::DEPENDENCY_CHECK, :message=>message, :mitigation=>"Please upgrade rack-attack gem to version 4.3.1 or later.", :aux_links=>['https://github.com/kickstarter/rack-attack/releases/tag/v4.3.1'] }) self.safe_dependencies = [{:name=>"rack-attack", :version=>['4.3.1']}] end
