CVE-2017-17919

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ruby on Rails versions 5.1.4 and earlier

Description A SQL injection issue in the 'order' method allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id desc parameter. The vendor disputes this issue, stating that the method is not intended for use with untrusted input.

Recommendations For Ruby on Rails versions 5.1.4 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the order method with untrusted input until a patch is available. Avoid using the id desc parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
