Upgrade actionpack to version 6.1.7.7, 7.0.8.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Exposure of Data Element to Wrong Session due to the default behavior of sending a Set-Cookie header along with the user's session cookie when serving blobs and setting Cache-Control to public. Certain proxies may cache the Set-Cookie, leading to an information leak. An attacker can exploit this behavior to cause users to share sessions.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be avoided by configuring caching proxies not to cache Set-Cookie headers.
