Upgrade rack to version 2.2.23, 3.1.21, 3.2.6 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 Permissive Regular Expression in the Rack::Directory component when the configured root path is interpolated directly into a regular expression without escaping. An attacker can obtain sensitive filesystem path information by supplying a root path containing regex metacharacters, which causes the directory listing to reveal unintended details in the HTML output.
