Vulnerability CVE-2021-22880
Published: 2021-02-11
| Description: |
The PostgreSQL adapter in Active Record before 6.1.2.1, 6.0.3.5, 5.2.4.5 suffers from a regular expression denial of service (REDoS) vulnerability. Carefully crafted input can cause the input validation in the `money` type of the PostgreSQL adapter in Active Record to spend too much time in a regular expression, resulting in the potential for a DoS attack. This only impacts Rails applications that are using PostgreSQL along with money type columns that take user input. |
Type:
CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption ('Resource Exhaustion'))
