SCA: security update for actionpack (GHSA-x76w-6vjr-8xgj)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420345

Description

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

- Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. Starting in version 3.1.0 and
prior to versions 6.1.7.9, 7.0.8.5, 7.1.4.1, and 7.2.1.1, there is a possible ReDoS vulnerability in the
query parameter filtering routines of Action Dispatch. Carefully crafted query parameters can cause query
parameter filtering to take an unexpected amount of time, possibly resulting in a DoS vulnerability. All
users running an affected release should either upgrade to version 6.1.7.9, 7.0.8.5, 7.1.4.1, or 7.2.1.1
or apply the relevant patch immediately. One may use Ruby 3.2 as a workaround. Ruby 3.2 has mitigations
for this problem, so Rails applications using Ruby 3.2 or newer are unaffected. Rails 8.0.0.beta1 depends
on Ruby 3.2 or greater so is unaffected. (CVE-2024-41128)
