What to do
AI-suggested
Official patches are available in Active Storage versions 7.2.3.2, 8.0.5.1, and 8.1.3.1. Users should update their Ruby on Rails deployments to these versions immediately. Additionally, libvips must be updated to version 8.13 or later to disable unsafe 'unfuzzed' operations. After patching, any secrets accessible to the application process should be considered compromised and rotated accordingly. There is no indication that the vulnerability is mitigated by default or that no action is required.
