## CVE-2025-61919 - High Severity Vulnerability
Vulnerable Library - rack-3.2.1.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 2.2.20, 3.1.18, and 3.2.3, "Rack::Request#POST" reads the entire request body into memory for "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded", calling "rack.input.read(nil)" without enforcing a length or cap. Large request bodies can therefore be buffered completely into process memory before parsing, leading to denial of service (DoS) through memory exhaustion. Users should upgrade to Rack version 2.2.20, 3.1.18, or 3.2.3, anu of which enforces form parameter limits using "query_parser.bytesize_limit", preventing unbounded reads of "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" bodies. Additionally, enforce strict maximum body size at the proxy or web server layer (e.g., Nginx "client_max_body_size", Apache "LimitRequestBody").

Start with Gemfile.lock and /vendor/cache/rack-3.2.1.gem, then compare the resolved Rack version with the fixed releases listed in the issue. Done means the dependency files no longer resolve or contain the vulnerable Rack 3.2.1 gem; inspect the repository's available dependency checks afterward.
