description

Actionpack versions 8.1.0 through 8.1.4 can derive an attacker-selected client address when running with Rack 3 behind a proxy that forwards untrusted Forwarded headers. An unauthenticated requester may evade IP-based policy or throttling and cause inaccurate client-IP audit records when the application relies on request.remote_ip.

mitigation

Upgrade actionpack to 8.1.4.1. Configure every reverse proxy to discard or replace inbound Forwarded headers before passing requests to the application.

fixed in 8.1.4.1
