CVE-2025-59830
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to version 2.2.18, Rack::QueryParser enforces its params_limit only for parameters separated by &, while still splitting on both & and ;. As a result, attackers could use ; separators to bypass the parameter count limit and submit more parameters than intended. Applications or middleware that directly invoke Rack::QueryParser with its default configuration (no explicit delimiter) could be exposed to increased CPU and memory consumption. This can be abused as a limited denial-of-service vector. This issue has been patched in version 2.2.18.

"value": "Rack es una interfaz modular de servidor web Ruby. Antes de la versión 2.2.18, Rack::QueryParser aplica su límite de parámetros solo para los parámetros separados por '&', mientras que sigue dividiendo tanto por '&' como por ';'. Como resultado, los atacantes podrían usar separadores ';' para eludir el límite de recuento de parámetros y enviar más parámetros de los previstos. Las aplicaciones o el middleware que invocan directamente a Rack::QueryParser con su configuración predeterminada (sin delimitador explícito) podrían estar expuestas a un mayor consumo de CPU y memoria. Esto puede ser explotado como un vector limitado de denegación de servicio. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 2.2.18."
