New Rack::Static Vulnerabilities Discovered, Posing Risks of Data Breaches in Ruby Servers

April 25, 2025
Vulnerability / Data Breach

Cybersecurity experts have unveiled three critical security flaws within the Rack Ruby web server interface. If exploited, these vulnerabilities could allow attackers to access unauthorized files, inject harmful data, and alter logs in certain circumstances. Highlighted by cybersecurity firm OPSWAT, the vulnerabilities include:

  • CVE-2025-27610 (CVSS score: 7.5) – A path traversal vulnerability that could potentially grant access to all files beneath the specified root directory, provided the attacker can ascertain the paths to those files.

  • CVE-2025-27111 (CVSS score: 6.9) – A vulnerability involving improper handling of carriage return line feeds (CRLF) sequences and inadequate output neutralization, which could be used to manipulate and distort log files.

  • CVE-2025-25184 (CVSS score: 5.7) – Another issue related to CRLF sequences and improper output neutralization that could also allow for log file manipulation.

Why Non-Human Identities Are Cybersecurity’s Most Overlooked Threat

When discussing identity in cybersecurity, people typically think of usernames, passwords, and the occasional multi-factor authentication prompt. However, an escalating threat lies beneath the surface, rooted in Non-Human Identities (NHIs). While security teams often equate NHIs with Service Accounts, the reality is much broader. NHIs encompass Service Principals, Snowflake Roles, IAM Roles, and platform-specific constructs across AWS, Azure, GCP, and beyond. The variability of NHIs reflects the diversity within modern tech stacks, making effective management essential.

The true risk associated with NHIs stems from their authentication methods.

Secrets: The Currency of Machines
Non-Human Identities primarily rely on secrets—API keys, tokens, certificates, and other credentials—that provide access to systems, data, and critical infrastructure.
