medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414054
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- ActiveSupport::EncryptedFile writes contents that will be encrypted to a temporary file. The temporary
file's permissions are defaulted to the user's current `umask` settings, meaning that it's possible for
other users on the same system to read the contents of the temporary file. Attackers that have access to
the file system could possibly read the contents of this temporary file while a user is editing it. All
users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the workarounds immediately.
