Description

## CVE-2026-34785 - High Severity Vulnerability
Vulnerable Library - rack-3.2.3.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-3.2.3.gem


Path to dependency file: /Gemfile.lock


Path to vulnerable library: /vendor/cache/rack-3.2.3.gem


Dependency Hierarchy:
- manageiq-style-1.5.9.gem (Root Library)
- :x: **rack-3.2.3.gem** (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: master



Vulnerability Details



Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6, Rack::Static determines whether a request should be served as a static file using a simple string prefix check. When configured with URL prefixes such as "/css", it matches any request path that begins with that string, including unrelated paths such as "/css-config.env" or "/css-backup.sql". As a result, files under the static root whose names merely share the configured prefix may be served unintentionally, leading to information disclosure. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6.

Research direction

Start with Gemfile.lock and the cached dependency at vendor/cache/rack-3.2.3.gem. Review the CVE details and the dependency hierarchy, then update Rack to a listed fixed version. Confirm that the lockfile and vendored dependency no longer reference 3.2.3 and that the vulnerability scan is clear.
