What to do
AI-suggested
Upgrade httparty to version 0.21.0 or later where this vulnerability is fixed. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data, but the vulnerability affects versions before 0.21.0, indicating that 0.21.0 includes the fix. No vendor advisory was provided to contradict this. Until upgrading, avoid processing untrusted multipart/form-data uploads or implement strict validation on filename parameters.
Description
httparty before 0.21.0 is vulnerable to an assumed-immutable web parameter vulnerability. A remote and unauthenticated attacker can provide a crafted filename parameter during multipart/form-data uploads which could result in attacker controlled filenames being written.
