## CVE-2026-34786 - Medium Severity Vulnerability
Vulnerable Library - rack-3.2.5.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::Static#applicable_rules evaluates several header_rules types against the raw URL-encoded PATH_INFO, while the underlying file-serving path is decoded before the file is served. As a result, a request for a URL-encoded variant of a static path can serve the same file without the headers that header_rules were intended to apply. In deployments that rely on Rack::Static to attach security-relevant response headers to static content, this can allow an attacker to bypass those headers by requesting an encoded form of the path. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6.

Start with /Gemfile.lock and the cached dependency at /vendor/cache/rack-3.2.5.gem; inspect how the project records and vendors the Rack version. Update the dependency to a patched Rack release listed in the issue, then verify the lockfile and vendored artifact no longer use 3.2.5 and that the vulnerability scan passes.
