 Package : rails CVE ID : CVE-2026-33168 CVE-2026-33169 CVE-2026-33170 CVE-2026-33173 CVE-2026-33174 CVE-2026-33176 CVE-2026-33195 CVE-2026-33202 CVE-2026-33658 CVE-2026-66066

 Multiple security issues were discovered in the Rails web framework which could result in cross-site scripting, denial of service, path traversal or the execution of arbitrary code.

 For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 2:7.2.2.2+dfsg-2~deb13u2.

 We recommend that you upgrade your rails packages.

 For the detailed security status of rails please refer to its security tracker page at:
