AI-suggested
Upgrade Rails to version 8.1.4.1 or later, or 8.0.5.2 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Until then, ensure that Action Cable does not accept unauthenticated connections or implement additional authentication checks before processing subscribe commands.
Description
A vulnerability in Rails Active Support prior to versions 8.1.4.1 and 8.0.5.2 allows unauthenticated attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted regular expressions. The issue arises when safe_constantize builds a regex from untrusted input without escaping, potentially crashing the server process. This affects applications using Action Cable that accept connections from untrusted clients without additional authentication.
