CarrierWave is a solution for file uploads for Rails, Sinatra and other Ruby web frameworks. The vulnerability CVE-2023-49090 wasn't fully addressed. This vulnerability is caused by the fact that when uploading to object storage, including Amazon S3, it is possible to set a Content-Type value that is interpreted by browsers to be different from what's allowed by `content_type_allowlist`, by providing multiple values separated by commas. This bypassed value can be used to cause XSS. Upgrade to 3.0.7 or 2.2.6.

### Impact The vulnerability [CVE-2023-49090](https://github.com/carrierwaveuploader/carrierwave/security/advisories/GHSA-gxhx-g4fq-49hj) wasn't fully addressed. This vulnerability is caused by the fact that when uploading to object storage, including Amazon S3, it is possible to set a Content-Type value that is interpreted by browsers to be different from what's allowed by `content_type_allowlist`, by providing multiple values separated by commas. This bypassed value can be used to cause XSS. ### Patches Upgrade to [3.0.7](https://rubygems.org/gems/carrierwave/versions/3.0.7) or [2.2.6](https://rubygems.org/gems/carrierwave/versions/2.2.6). ### Workarounds Use the following monkey patch to let CarrierWave parse the Content-type by using `Marcel::MimeType.for`. ```ruby # For CarrierWave 3.x CarrierWave::SanitizedFile.class_eval do def declared_content_type @declared_content_type || if @file.respond_to?(:content_type) && @file.content_type Marcel::MimeType.for(declared_type: @file.content_type.to_s.chomp) end end end ``` ```ruby # For CarrierWave 2.x CarrierWave::SanitizedFile.class_eval do def existing_content_type if @file.respond_to?(:content_type) && @file.content_type Marcel::MimeType.for(declared_type: @file.content_type.to_s.chomp) end end end ``` ### References [OWASP - File Upload Cheat Sheet](https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/File_Upload_Cheat_Sheet.html#content-type-validation)

CarrierWave es una solución para carga de archivos para Rails, Sinatra y otros frameworks web Ruby. La vulnerabilidad CVE-2023-49090 no se solucionó por completo. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe al hecho de que al cargar objetos en el almacenamiento, incluido Amazon S3, es posible establecer un valor de tipo de contenido que los navegadores interpretan como diferente de lo permitido por "content_type_allowlist", al proporcionar múltiples valores separados por comas. Este valor omitido se puede utilizar para provocar XSS. Actualice a 3.0.7 o 2.2.6.
