critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 422265

Description

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

 - actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/request.rb in Ruby on Rails before 3.2.16 and 4.x before 4.0.2 does
 not properly consider differences in parameter handling between the Active Record component and the JSON
 implementation, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended database-query restrictions and perform
 NULL checks or trigger missing WHERE clauses via a crafted request that leverages (1) third-party Rack
 middleware or (2) custom Rack middleware. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for
 CVE-2013-0155. (CVE-2013-6417)
