An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-7248 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- actionpack (RubyGems): affected from 2.1.0; fixed in 2.1.3\n- actionpack (RubyGems): affected from 2.1.0; fixed in 2.1.3\n- actionpack (RubyGems): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.2.2\n- actionpack (RubyGems): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.2.2\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-7248/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-7248/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-7248","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-7248/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-7248","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-7248","GHSA-8fqx-7pv4-3jwm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ruby on Rails framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass CSRF protection in Ruby on Rails applications by exploiting token verification flaws for specific content types.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"rails","vendor":"rubyonrails"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Ruby on Rails 2.1 before 2.1.3 and 2.2.x before 2.2.2 does not verify tokens for requests with certain content types, which allows remote attackers to bypass cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection for requests to applications that rely on this protection, as demonstrated using text/plain.","ecosystems":["RubyGems"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2009-12-14","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2009-12-14","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"33402","stars":null,"title":"Ruby on Rails 2.3.5 - 'protect_from_forgery' Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Improper Input Validation in actionpack","id":"CVE-2008-7248","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","product":"rubyonrails:rails","products":["rubyonrails:rails"],"type":"csrf","year":"2008"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-7249"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":["2.1.3"],"introduced":["2.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"actionpack","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-8fqx-7pv4-3jwm"},{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":["2.1.3"],"introduced":["2.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"actionpack","purl":"pkg:gem/actionpack","source":"GHSA-8fqx-7pv4-3jwm"},{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":["2.2.2"],"introduced":["2.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"actionpack","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-8fqx-7pv4-3jwm"},{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":["2.2.2"],"introduced":["2.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"actionpack","purl":"pkg:gem/actionpack","source":"GHSA-8fqx-7pv4-3jwm"}],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-7247"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-12-16","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Active Record contains deserialization of arbitrary YAML","id":"CVE-2013-0277","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-02-13"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17916","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-29"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17917","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-29"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Rails Active Storage has possible Path Traversal in DiskService","id":"CVE-2026-33195","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-23"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Rails possible ReDoS vulnerability in Accept header parsing in Action Dispatch","id":"CVE-2024-26142","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-27"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"ReDoS based DoS vulnerability in Action Dispatch","id":"CVE-2023-22792","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of Service in Action Dispatch","id":"CVE-2021-22902","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass CSRF protection in Ruby on Rails applications by exploiting token verification flaws for specific content types.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-7248/"}
