An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-34230 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- rack (RubyGems): affected all versions; fixed in 2.2.23\n- rack (RubyGems): affected all versions; fixed in 2.2.23\n- rack (RubyGems): affected from 3.0.0.beta1; fixed in 3.1.21\n- rack (RubyGems): affected from 3.0.0.beta1; fixed in 3.1.21\n- rack (RubyGems): affected from 3.2.0; fixed in 3.2.6\n- rack (RubyGems): affected from 3.2.0; fixed in 3.2.6\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-2026-34230/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-34230/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-34230","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-34230/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-34230","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-34230","GHSA-v569-hp3g-36wr","MINI-24h4-c8xf-m83x","MINI-2533-8cmf-xvhf","MINI-3gxq-x68c-6cq4","MINI-4r8r-xhc6-9q4f","MINI-7cff-q82h-vq42","MINI-7rcg-qpm6-r4fj","MINI-88j2-r4c9-wxqm","MINI-88pc-5qrf-pjg6","MINI-cg59-rpj5-pj6p","MINI-fx92-cf4v-cvrv","MINI-hc4r-qpm6-j34h","MINI-hgh8-7m8v-3fg6","MINI-jg2p-q9cg-f939","MINI-m2fx-7gv4-25m7","MINI-pg5x-m587-h7cx","MINI-qm53-4jwr-f33v","MINI-qpxq-mfw3-q9xr","MINI-v2pc-rwjw-wfp3","MINI-vx88-g4cv-849h","MINI-w77g-rj6g-4q58","MINI-w8r6-gf43-m8cw","MINI-wwcf-mff3-7ggj","MINI-x455-266f-vm3q","MINI-xjc4-5hwf-w4g8","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-34230"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ruby web server interface","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can cause denial of service in Rack applications using Deflater by sending a crafted Accept-Encoding header with many wildcards.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"rack","vendor":"rack"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-407","name":"Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity"},{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6, Rack::Utils.select_best_encoding processes Accept-Encoding values with quadratic time complexity when the header contains many wildcard (*) entries. Because this method is used by Rack::Deflater to choose a response encoding, an unauthenticated attacker can send a single request with a crafted Accept-Encoding header and cause disproportionate CPU consumption on the compression middleware path. This results in a denial of service condition for applications using Rack::Deflater.
