Description
## CVE-2025-27111 - Medium Severity Vulnerability
Vulnerable Library - rack-2.2.9.gem
Rack provides a minimal, modular and adaptable interface for developing
web applications in Ruby. By wrapping HTTP requests and responses in
the simplest way possible, it unifies and distills the API for web
servers, web frameworks, and software in between (the so-called
middleware) into a single method call.
Library home page: https://rubygems.org/gems/rack-2.2.9.gem
Path to dependency file: /Gemfile.lock
Path to vulnerable library: /home/wss-scanner/.gem/ruby/3.2.0/cache/rack-2.2.9.gem
Dependency Hierarchy:
- rack-test-2.1.0.gem (Root Library)
- :x: **rack-2.2.9.gem** (Vulnerable Library)
Found in base branch: master
Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. The Rack::Sendfile middleware logs unsanitised header values from the X-Sendfile-Type header. An attacker can exploit this by injecting escape sequences (such as newline characters) into the header, resulting in log injection. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.2.12, 3.0.13, and 3.1.11.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with Gemfile.lock and the rack-test dependency hierarchy shown in the issue. Update Rack from 2.2.9 to a fixed release, such as 2.2.12, then verify that dependency resolution no longer selects the vulnerable version and the project checks pass.
