high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 4679

Synopsis

The remote host is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack.

Description

The remote server is running the Ruby on Rails web application.
This version of Rails is reported to be vulnerable to a flaw in the way that it handles ':offset' and ':limit' parameters.

Successful exploitation would result in the attacker executing arbitrary SQL commands on the database used by Ruby on Rails.
