Directory traversal vulnerability in actionpack/lib/abstract_controller/base.rb in the implicit-render implementation in Ruby on Rails before 3.2.18, 4.0.x before 4.0.5, and 4.1.x before 4.1.1, when certain route globbing configurations are enabled, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted request.

Directory traversal vulnerability in actionpack/lib/abstract_controller/base.rb in the implicit-render implementation in Ruby on Rails before 3.2.18, 4.0.x before 4.0.5, and 4.1.x before 4.1.1, when certain route globbing configurations are enabled, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted request.
Immediate Attention
Yes
Unknown
Risk basis: CISA KEV exploitation signal; SOC ecosystem technology relevance; HIGH severity; Source-confirmed exploitation or CISA KEV/ransomware metadata
Affected Products & Remediation
3 source-backed productsVendor or catalog guidance (source)
- CISA KEV: Apply updates per vendor instructions.
Known exploitation (source facts)
Only what a source states. Unknown means no source has said either way; it is not "not exploited".
- CISA KEV
- Listed
- Exploited (source statement)
- Yes
- Publicly disclosed (source)
- Unknown
CISA required action: Apply updates per vendor instructions.
Suggested hunting (rule-based inference)
SecOps Signal recommendation (rule-based inference). These steps are hunting hypotheses from the vulnerability class; they do not state or imply that exploitation occurred here or anywhere.
Matched kev-network-exposure (CVSS AV:N, CISA KEV Listed); path-traversal (CWE-22)
Exposure
- Identify assets with the exact CVE and confirm the affected product/version against the advisory.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · KEV listing raises urgency, but inventory is needed to establish local exposure. · Rule kev-network-exposure
- Locate affected deployments and the path-handling endpoint named by the advisory.Telemetry: Application access logs · The affected path must come from the source, not the CWE alone. · Rule path-traversal
Exploitation evidence
- Review relevant edge or application access logs for unusual requests around the advisory window.Telemetry: CommonSecurityLog · Log review is a hunting hypothesis; KEV listing alone does not show local exploitation. · Rule kev-network-exposure

Exploitation evidence
- Review requests to that endpoint for traversal encodings and unusual file responses.Telemetry: Application access logs · Such patterns are a hypothesis to validate against normal traffic. · Rule path-traversal
Response
- Recheck the affected assets after the source-stated mitigation or update is applied.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · A follow-up inventory check verifies local remediation. · Rule kev-network-exposure
CISA KEV Record
Apply updates per vendor instructions.
