NewCVE-2025-49007 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade rack to version 3.1.16 or higher.
Overview
rack is a minimal, modular and adaptable interface for developing web applications in Ruby. By wrapping HTTP requests and responses in the simplest way possible, it unifies and distills the API for web servers, web frameworks, and software in between (the so-called middleware) into a single method call.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to the Content-Disposition header parsing. An attacker can cause the server to consume excessive resources and potentially crash by sending specially crafted requests that exploit this inefficiency.
