CVE-2011-2929: Improper Input Validation

October 24, 2017 (updated September 17, 2021)

The template selection functionality in actionpack/lib/action_view/template/resolver.rb in Ruby on Rails 3.0.x before 3.0.10 and 3.1.x before 3.1.0.rc6 does not properly handle glob characters, which allows remote attackers to render arbitrary views via a crafted URL, related to a “filter skipping vulnerability.”
