Descriptions

Active Model in Ruby on Rails 4.1.x before 4.1.14.1, 4.2.x before 4.2.5.1, and 5.x before 5.0.0.beta1.1 supports the use of instance-level writers for class accessors, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended validation steps via crafted parameters.

Active Model en Ruby on Rails 4.1.x en versiones anteriores a 4.1.14.1, 4.2.x en versiones anteriores a 4.2.5.1 y 5.x en versiones anteriores a 5.0.0.beta1.1 soporta el uso de los escritores a nivel de instancia para descriptores de acceso de clase, lo que permite a atacantes remotos eludir los pasos destinados a la validación a través de parámetros manipulados.

A flaw was found in the way the Active Model based models processed attributes. An attacker with the ability to pass arbitrary attributes to models could possibly use this flaw to bypass input validation.
