Ruby vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Active Record, a component that connects classes to relational database tables, was found to have a security vulnerability (CVE-2025-55193) disclosed on August 13, 2025. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 7.1.5.2, 7.2.2.2, and 8.0.2.1, where the ID passed to find or similar methods may be logged without proper escaping (GitHub Advisory).

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-150 (Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences). When using the find or similar methods in Active Record, the ID parameter is logged without proper escaping, which could potentially include unescaped ANSI sequences if output directly to the terminal. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS 4.0 score of 2.7 (LOW) with vector string CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N/E:U (NVD).

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow unescaped ANSI sequences to be included in terminal output when logging record lookups. This could potentially lead to terminal manipulation or display issues when viewing logs (GitHub Advisory).

The issue has been patched in versions 7.1.5.2, 7.2.2.2, and 8.0.2.1. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to address the vulnerability. The fix involves properly escaping IDs in RecordNotFound error messages (GitHub Advisory).
