Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
A directory traversal flaw was found in the way the Action View component searched for templates for rendering. If an application passed untrusted input to the 'render' method, a remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to render unexpected files and, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

Description Adam Mariš 2016-01-26 12:55:44 UTC
A possible directory traversal and information leak vulnerability in Action View was reported. Applications that pass unverified user input to the `render` method in a controller may be vulnerable to an information leak vulnerability.

Vulnerable code:

```ruby
def index
  render params[:id]
end
```

Carefully crafted requests can cause the above code to render files from unexpected places like outside the application's view directory, and can possibly escalate this to a remote code execution attack. All versions are affected.

Comment 20 Stephen Herr 2017-12-02 00:16:17 UTC
Mitigation:

Avoid passing untrusted input to render method, or verify the input using whitelist before passing it to the render method:

```

def index
  render verify_template(params[:id])
end

private
def verify_template(name)
  # add verification logic particular to your application here
end

```
