Descriptions

activerecord/lib/active_record/relation/query_methods.rb in Active Record in Ruby on Rails 4.0.x before 4.0.9 and 4.1.x before 4.1.5 allows remote attackers to bypass the strong parameters protection mechanism via crafted input to an application that makes create_with calls.

activerecord/lib/active_record/relation/query_methods.rb en Active Record en Ruby on Rails 4.0.x anterior a 4.0.9 y 4.1.x anterior a 4.1.5 permite a atacantes remotos evadir el mecanismo de protección de parámetros fuertes a través de entradas manipuladas en una aplicación que realiza llamadas create_with.

It was discovered that Active Record's create_with method failed to properly check attributes passed to it. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to bypass the strong parameter protection and modify arbitrary model attributes via mass assignment if an application using Active Record called create_with with untrusted values.

Ruby on Rails is a model-view-controller framework for web application development. Active Record implements object-relational mapping for accessing database entries using objects. It was discovered that Active Record's create_with method failed to properly check attributes passed to it. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to bypass the strong parameter protection and modify arbitrary model attributes via mass assignment if an application using Active Record called create_with with untrusted values. All ror40-rubygem-activerecord users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
