There is a remote code execution vulnerability in Web Console. This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2015-3224. Versions Affected: All Not affected: Environments inaccessible from remote IPs, or without Web Console enabled Fixed Versions: 2.1.3 Impact ------ Specially crafted remote requests can spoof their origin, bypassing the IP whitelist, in any environment where Web Console is enabled (development and test, by default). Users whose application is only accessible from localhost (as is the default behaviour in Rails 4.2) are not affected, unless a local proxy is involved. Workarounds ----------- To work around this issue, turn off web-console in all environments, by removing/commenting it from the application's Gemfile. The patch against 2.1 series is attached.
