SCA: security update for rack (GHSA-vgpv-f759-9wx3)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439702

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6,
Rack::Multipart::Parser extracts the boundary parameter from multipart/form-data using a greedy regular
expression. When a Content-Type header contains multiple boundary parameters, Rack selects the last one
rather than the first. In deployments where an upstream proxy, WAF, or intermediary interprets the first
boundary parameter, this mismatch can allow an attacker to smuggle multipart content past upstream
inspection and have Rack parse a different body structure than the intermediary validated. This issue has
been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6. (CVE-2026-26961)

Solution

Update the rack library and its related packages to version 2.2.23 or later.
