Description Laura Pardo 2018-12-13 20:31:47 UTC 
A Broken Access Control vulnerability in Active Job versions >= 4.2.0 allows an attacker to craft user input which can cause Active Job to deserialize it using GlobalId and give them access to information that they should not have.

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1659224]
Comment 2 Scott Gayou 2018-12-18 17:56:11 UTC 
RHSCL is vulnerable. Here's an example of what the input looks like before and after serialization & deserialization:

```
(["gid://poc/Person/5"])
```
=>

```
([#<Person:0x0000000001616ce0 @id="5">]).
```
