Description

## CVE-2026-26962 - Medium Severity Vulnerability
Vulnerable Library - rack-3.2.4.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.

Path to dependency file: /Gemfile.lock


Path to vulnerable library: /vendor/cache/rack-3.2.4.gem


Dependency Hierarchy:
- manageiq-style-1.5.9.gem (Root Library)
- :x: **rack-3.2.4.gem** (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: master



Vulnerability Details



Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. From version 3.2.0 to before version 3.2.6, Rack::Multipart::Parser unfolds folded multipart part headers incorrectly. When a multipart header contains an obs-fold sequence, Rack preserves the embedded CRLF in parsed parameter values such as filename or name instead of removing the folded line break during unfolding. As a result, applications that later reuse those parsed values in HTTP response headers may be vulnerable to downstream header injection or response splitting. This issue has been patched in version 3.2.6.
