Description
Possible Sensitive Session Information Leak in Active Storage
There is a possible sensitive session information leak in Active Storage. By
default, Active Storage sends a `Set-Cookie` header along with the user's
session cookie when serving blobs. It also sets `Cache-Control` to public.
Certain proxies may cache the Set-Cookie, leading to an information leak.
This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2024-26144.
Versions Affected: >= 5.2.0, 7.1.0
Fixed Versions: 7.0.8.1, 6.1.7.7
Impact
------
A proxy which chooses to caches this request can cause users to share
sessions. This may include a user receiving an attacker's session or vice
versa.
This was patched in 7.1.0 but not previously identified as a security
vulnerability.
All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the
workarounds immediately.
Releases
--------
The fixed releases are available at the normal locations.
Workarounds
-----------
Upgrade to Rails 7.1.X, or configure caching proxies not to cache the
Set-Cookie headers.
