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:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Action Pack in Ruby on Rails before 3.2.22.2, 4.x before 4.1.14.2, and 4.2.x before 4.2.5.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Ruby code by leveraging an application's unrestricted use of the render method.
