Description

This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33167)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in Action Pack debug exceptions. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


2) Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33202)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to the glob injection in Active Storage DiskService. A remote attacker can delete unintended files from the storage directory.


3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33195)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in Active Storage DiskService. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read, write or delete arbitrary files on the system.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33658)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in Active Storage proxy mode. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33176)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in Active Support number helpers. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Uncontrolled Memory Allocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33174)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to ucontrolled memory allocation in Active Storage proxy mode. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on the target system.


7) Expired pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33173)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to DirectUploadsController accepts arbitrary metadata from the client and persists it on the blob. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information on the target system.


8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33170)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within SafeBuffer#% in Active Support. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


9) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33169)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions within number_to_delimited in Active Support. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


10) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33168)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in Action View tag helpers. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
