CRITICAL
GHSA-f57c-hx33-hvh8
Active Record component in Ruby on Rails has a data-type injection vulnerability
Quick fix
GHSA-f57c-hx33-hvh8 — activerecord: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
bundle update activerecordDetails
The Active Record component in Ruby on Rails 2.3.x, 3.0.x, 3.1.x, and 3.2.x does not ensure that the declared data type of a database column is used during comparisons of input values to stored values in that column, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct data-type injection attacks against Ruby on Rails applications via a crafted value, as demonstrated by unintended interaction between the "typed XML" feature and a MySQL database.
