Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Rack::Cache versions 0.3.0 through 1.1

Description The issue allows attackers to obtain sensitive cookie information, hijack web sessions, or have other unspecified impact by accessing the cache, as the Rack::Cache rubygem caches Set-Cookie and other sensitive headers.

Recommendations For versions 0.3.0 through 1.1, consider disabling the caching of sensitive headers to prevent attackers from obtaining sensitive cookie information. Restrict access to the cache to minimize the risk of exploitation.
