- Summary
- actionpack Open Redirect in Host Authorization Middleware
- Details
-
Specially crafted "X-Forwarded-Host" headers in combination with certain "allowed host" formats can cause the Host Authorization middleware in Action Pack to redirect users to a malicious website.
Impacted applications will have allowed hosts with a leading dot. For example, configuration files that look like this:
config.hosts << '.EXAMPLE.com'When an allowed host contains a leading dot, a specially crafted Host header can be used to redirect to a malicious website.
This vulnerability is similar to CVE-2021-22881 and CVE-2021-22942.
