Overview

actionpack is a web app builder and tester on Rails.

The template selection code contains a vulnerability which allows an attacker to craft a URL and cause Rails to render an arbitrary view, regardless of if they have permissions to view the template. This only affects 3.0 applications which use :action in their routes.
