A vulnerability was found in Ruby on Rails (Programming Language Software). It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is an unknown part in the library actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/static.rb of the component Assets. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Impacted is confidentiality. CVE summarizes:
