CVE-2006-4112

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An unspecified vulnerability in the dependency resolution mechanism in Ruby on Rails 1.1.0 through 1.1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Ruby code via a specially crafted URL that is not properly handled in the routing code. This leads to a denial of service (application hang) or data loss.

Risk Assessment

A remote attacker could execute arbitrary Ruby code, potentially leading to full application compromise, service disruption, or data loss. Organizations using vulnerable versions of Ruby on Rails are at serious risk.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade Ruby on Rails to a version later than 1.1.5, which contains the fix for this vulnerability. If upgrading is not possible, consider implementing web server filtering rules to block suspicious URL requests.
