A vulnerability was found in Ruby on Rails up to 3.x/4.x (Programming Language Software). It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown functionality of the file request.rb of the component Web Console. The manipulation of the argument X-Forwarded-For with an unknown input leads to a access control vulnerability (Blacklist). CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-284. The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

request.rb in Web Console before 2.1.3, as used with Ruby on Rails 3.x and 4.x, does not properly restrict the use of X-Forwarded-For headers in determining a client's IP address, which allows remote attackers to bypass the whitelisted_ips protection mechanism via a crafted request.
