Security Advisories 🚨

🚨 ReDoS based DoS vulnerability in Active Support’s underscore

There is a possible regular expression based DoS vulnerability in Active
Support. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier
CVE-2023-22796.

Versions Affected: All
Not affected: None
Fixed Versions: 6.1.7.1, 7.0.4.1

Impact

A specially crafted string passed to the underscore method can cause the
regular expression engine to enter a state of catastrophic backtracking.
This can cause the process to use large amounts of CPU and memory, leading
to a possible DoS vulnerability.

This affects String#underscore, ActiveSupport::Inflector.underscore,
String#titleize, and any other methods using these.

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the
workarounds immediately.

Workarounds

There are no feasible workarounds for this issue.

Users on Ruby 3.2.0 or greater may be able to reduce the impact by
configuring Regexp.timeout.

Release Notes

7.0.4.1 (from changelog)

👉 No CI detected

You don't seem to have any Continuous Integration service set up!

Without a service that will test the Depfu branches and pull requests, we can't inform you if incoming updates actually work with your app. We think that this degrades the service we're trying to provide down to a point where it is more or less meaningless.

This is fine if you just want to give Depfu a quick try. If you want to really let Depfu help you keep your app up-to-date, we recommend setting up a CI system:

  • Circle CI, Semaphore and Travis-CI are all excellent options.
  • If you use something like Jenkins, make sure that you're using the Github integration correctly so that it reports status data back to Github.
  • If you have already set up a CI for this repository, you might need to check your configuration. Make sure it will run on all new branches. If you don’t want it to run on every branch, you can whitelist branches starting with depfu/.
