CVE-2026-34785 (High) detected in rack-3.2.5.gem

## CVE-2026-34785 - High 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 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.

Start with Gemfile.lock and the vendored rack-3.2.5.gem path identified in the issue, then inspect the dependency update workflow for this repository. Done means updating Rack to a patched version—3.2.6, 3.1.21, or 2.2.23 as compatible—and confirming the lockfile and vendored dependency no longer reference the vulnerable release.
