## CVE-2026-34763 - 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.

Vulnerability Details

Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6, Rack::Directory interpolates the configured root path directly into a regular expression when deriving the displayed directory path. If root contains regex metacharacters such as +, *, or ., the prefix stripping can fail and the generated directory listing may expose the full filesystem path in the HTML output. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6.

Start by inspecting /Gemfile.lock and the dependency hierarchy showing rack-test-2.1.0.gem pulling in rack-2.2.9.gem. Update the Rack dependency to a listed patched version, then run the project's existing checks. Done means the lockfile resolves Rack to 2.2.23, 3.1.21, or 3.2.6 without breaking the dependency.
