Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ruby on Rails versions 5.1.4 and earlier

Description A SQL injection issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This is achieved via the name parameter in the 'reorder' method. It's worth noting that the vendor disputes this issue, citing that the method is not intended for use with untrusted input.

Recommendations For versions 5.1.4 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the 'reorder' method with untrusted input until a fix is available. Avoid using the name parameter in the 'reorder' method with untrusted data to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
