NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby3.2-rubygem-bigdecimal package and not the ruby3.2-rubygem-bigdecimal package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the URI gem before 1.0.3 for Ruby, the URI handling methods (URI.join, URI#merge, URI#+) have an inadvertent leakage of authentication credentials because userinfo is retained even after changing the host.
