CVE-2026-66066 is a critical arbitrary file-read vulnerability in Ruby on Rails Active Storage when image processing is performed with libvips on untrusted uploads. The flaw exists at the trust boundary between Active Storage and libvips: untrusted attachments could be passed to unsafe libvips operations by the Active Storage analyzer and transformer, allowing a crafted image upload to trigger disclosure of files readable by the Rails worker process. Affected deployments include Rails applications using Active Storage with libvips for image processing, including default configurations in newer Rails branches where Vips is the default processor. Successful exploitation can expose the Rails process environment and sensitive application material such as framework secrets, database credentials, cloud storage credentials, and API tokens.
