Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2014-0130 is a directory traversal vulnerability in Action Pack's implicit-render implementation in Ruby on Rails prior to 3.2.18, 4.0.5, and 4.1.1. Under certain route-globbing configurations, attacker-controlled route data can be interpreted during implicit template resolution. A crafted request containing traversal sequences can cause Rails to resolve and render files outside the intended view directory.

This repository is a Ruby on Rails 3.2.1 application designed as a test case for CVE-2014-0130, a directory traversal vulnerability in Rails route globbing. The structure is that of a standard Rails app, with controllers, views, assets, and configuration files. The key exploit capability is demonstrated in the README, which provides a payload that targets the '/api/*action' route, exploiting improper sanitization of backslash-encoded directory traversal sequences. This allows an attacker to access arbitrary files on the server by sending crafted HTTP requests. The application is not a detection script but a proof-of-concept vulnerable app for demonstrating the exploit. The main fingerprintable endpoint is the '/api/*action' route, and the payload is a specially crafted HTTP GET request. The repository references public advisories and reports for further context. No weaponized or framework-based code is present; this is a standalone POC for research and demonstration purposes.

2 sources tracked across advisories, community write-ups, and news. New activity surfaces here as Mallory finds it.
A Ruby on Rails wildcard-routing and implicit-template-rendering path-traversal vulnerability. In the described vulnerable configuration, attacker-controlled action paths can cause unintended template or file resolution, enabling file disclosure and potentially remote code execution when an attacker also has an ability to write a malicious ERB template or controller file.
A directory traversal vulnerability in web servers due to improper URI/input sanitization, enabling unauthenticated attackers to access arbitrary files.
