Overview
ActiveRecord is the Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) that comes out-of-the-box with Rails. It plays the role of Model in the MVC architecture employed by Rails.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Data Injection via the connection_adapters/postgresql/cast.rb method. Specially crafted strings can be used to save data in PostgreSQL array columns that may not be intended. This vulnerability cannot be used to delete data or execute arbitrary SQL statements, but can be used to add data that could have an impact on the application (such as setting an admin flag). Only array type columns in PostgreSQL are impacted.
