Dependensi dan CVE for Ruby on Rails

high4 checks

Most breaches start with a component that was already patchable. Knowing exact versions is the difference between a fix and a guess.

What Ruby on Rails must have

  • No version disclosure through headers, meta tags or error pages
  • Framework and plugins on supported releases
  • Known CVEs for the detected versions reviewed
  • Lockfile committed and dependency audit running in CI

How to fix it

  1. 1Automate dependency updates and review advisories weekly
  2. 2Pin versions in production and test upgrades in staging first

Ruby on Rails context

Ruby MVC framework with convention-over-configuration defaults.

Keep Rails patched (several critical deserialisation CVEs) and never expose /rails/info in production.
