AI-suggested

Upgrade Rails to version 8.0.5.2 or later if using the 8.0.x series, or to version 8.1.4.1 or later if using the 8.1.x series. These versions include fixes that restrict the FFmpeg demuxer usage and prevent local file disclosure. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

A vulnerability in Ruby on Rails Active Storage prior to versions 8.0.5.2 and between 8.1 and 8.1.4.1 allows exposure of local media files. This occurs because certain Active Storage components pass uploaded blob contents to FFmpeg without restricting the demuxer, enabling an attacker to craft uploads that cause FFmpeg to open local file segments. This can disclose local files readable by the application process if the attacker knows the file path.
