SCA: security update for activerecord (GHSA-f57c-hx33-hvh8)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437445

Description

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

 - The Active Record component in Ruby on Rails 2.3.x, 3.0.x, 3.1.x, and 3.2.x does not ensure that the
 declared data type of a database column is used during comparisons of input values to stored values in
 that column, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct data-type injection attacks against
 Ruby on Rails applications via a crafted value, as demonstrated by unintended interaction between the
 "typed XML" feature and a MySQL database. (CVE-2013-3221)
