CVE-2014-3514 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade ActiveRecord to version 4.0.9, 4.1.5 or higher.
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 Arbitrary Data Injection.
The create_with functionality in ActiveRecord was implemented incorrectly and completely bypasses the strong parameters protection. Applications which pass user-controlled values to create_with could allow attackers to set arbitrary attributes on models.
