Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionNVD
Puma is a Ruby/Rack web server built for parallelism. In affected versions clients could clobber values set by intermediate proxies (such as X-Forwarded-For) by providing a underscore version of the same header (X-Forwarded_For). Any users relying on proxy set variables is affected. v6.4.3/v5.6.9 now discards any headers using underscores if the non-underscore version also exists. Effectively, allowing the proxy defined headers to always win. Users are advised to upgrade. Nginx has a underscores_in_headers configuration variable to discard these headers at the proxy level as a mitigation. Any users that are implicitly trusting the proxy defined headers for security should immediately cease doing so until upgraded to the fixed versions.
AnalysisAI
Puma is a Ruby/Rack web server built for parallelism. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.4), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
