An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2013-6414 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- actionpack (RubyGems): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.2.16\n- actionpack (RubyGems): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.2.16\n- actionpack (RubyGems): affected from 4.0.0; fixed in 4.0.2\n- actionpack (RubyGems): affected from 4.0.0; fixed in 4.0.2\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-2013-6414/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-6414/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-6414","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-6414/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-6414","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mpxf-gcw2-pw5q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ruby on Rails","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service via memory consumption by sending headers with invalid MIME types in Ruby on Rails.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"rails","vendor":"rubyonrails"},{"product":"ruby_on_rails","vendor":"rubyonrails"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"actionpack/lib/action_view/lookup_context.rb in Action View in Ruby on Rails 3.x before 3.2.16 and 4.x before 4.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a header containing an invalid MIME type that leads to excessive caching.","ecosystems":["RubyGems"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2013-12-04","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2013-12-04","kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/dos/http/rails_action_view","stars":null,"title":"Ruby on Rails Action View MIME Memory Exhaustion"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"actionpack Improper Input Validation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2013-6414","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","product":"rubyonrails:rails","products":["rubyonrails:rails"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2013"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":13,"next":{"headline":"actionpack vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting","id":"CVE-2013-6415"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":["3.2.16"],"introduced":["3.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"actionpack","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mpxf-gcw2-pw5q"},{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":["3.2.16"],"introduced":["3.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"actionpack","purl":"pkg:gem/actionpack","source":"GHSA-mpxf-gcw2-pw5q"},{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":["4.0.2"],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"actionpack","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mpxf-gcw2-pw5q"},{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":["4.0.2"],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"actionpack","purl":"pkg:gem/actionpack","source":"GHSA-mpxf-gcw2-pw5q"}],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-6413"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-12-07","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":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service via memory consumption by sending headers with invalid MIME types in Ruby on Rails.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-6414/"}
