Synopsis

Rails Web Console Detected

Description

Rails has several gems, including a native one allowing access to a ruby console through the application. Badly configured, this console is accessible without authorization to any user, which allows to execute arbitrary code remotely.

Solution

Restrict the web console feature to authorized users only, or disable it.
