Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 44.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

request.rb in Web Console before 2.1.3, as used with Ruby on Rails 3.x and 4.x, does not properly restrict the use of X-Forwarded-For headers in determining a client's IP address, which allows remote attackers to bypass the whitelisted_ips protection mechanism via a crafted request.

Affected products
