Description
## CVE-2026-26961 - Low 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
Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6, Rack::Multipart::Parser extracts the boundary parameter from multipart/form-data using a greedy regular expression. When a Content-Type header contains multiple boundary parameters, Rack selects the last one rather than the first. In deployments where an upstream proxy, WAF, or intermediary interprets the first boundary parameter, this mismatch can allow an attacker to smuggle multipart content past upstream inspection and have Rack parse a different body structure than the intermediary validated. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6.
