Rack: Rack::Static header_rules bypass via dot-segment normalization mismatch
CVE-2026-125110
Description
Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to 2.2.25, 3.1.23, and 3.2.8, Rack::Static serves a path after Utils.clean_path_info normalization but evaluates header_rules against a path that is only URL-decoded. An unauthenticated attacker can request a known file through raw or percent-encoded dot segments and receive it without path-specific security headers such as Content-Disposition or Content-Security-Policy. Applications that do not use path-specific header_rules are not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 2.2.25, 3.1.23, and 3.2.8.
