CVE-2012-6497  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 rails to version 2.3.14.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rails package and not the rails package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Authlogic gem for Ruby on Rails, when used with certain versions before 3.2.10, makes potentially unsafe find_by_id method calls, which might allow remote attackers to conduct CVE-2012-6496 SQL injection attacks via a crafted parameter in environments that have a known secret_token value, as demonstrated by a value contained in secret_token.rb in an open-source product.
