{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-25500","details":"Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.22, 3.1.20, and 3.2.5, `Rack::Directory` generates an HTML directory index where each file entry is rendered as a clickable link. If a file exists on disk whose basename starts with the `javascript:` scheme (e.g. `javascript:alert(1)`), the generated index contains an anchor whose `href` is exactly `javascript:alert(1)`. Clicking the entry executes JavaScript in the browser (demonstrated with `alert(1)`). Versions 2.2.22, 3.1.20, and 3.2.5 fix the issue.","modified":"2026-05-20T16:12:25.247145097Z","published":"2026-02-18T20:18:00Z","related":["USN-8066-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2026-25500"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-25500"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-25500"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/rack/rack/security/advisories/GHSA-whrj-4476-wvmp"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8066-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"ruby-rack","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ruby-rack?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy%2Ftrusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.5.2-1","1.5.2-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm2","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm3","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm4","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm6","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm7","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm8","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm9","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm10","1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm11"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm11","binary_name":"librack-ruby"},{"binary_name":"librack-ruby1.8","binary_version":"1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm11"},{"binary_version":"1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm11","binary_name":"librack-ruby1.9.1"},{"binary_name":"ruby-rack","binary_version":"1.5.2-3+deb8u3ubuntu1~esm11"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-25500.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ruby-rack","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ruby-rack?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.5.2-4","1.6.4-2","1.6.4-3","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.1","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm1","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm2","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm4","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm5","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm6","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm7","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm8","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm9","1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm10"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ruby-rack","binary_version":"1.6.4-3ubuntu0.2+esm10"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-25500.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ruby-rack","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ruby-rack?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.6.4-4","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.1","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm1","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm2","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm4","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm5","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm6","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm7","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm8","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm9","1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm10"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.6.4-4ubuntu0.2+esm10","binary_name":"ruby-rack"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-25500.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ruby-rack","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ruby-rack?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm9"}]}],"versions":["2.0.6-3","2.0.7-2","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm1","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm2","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm3","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm4","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm5","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm6","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm7","2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm8"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ruby-rack","binary_version":"2.0.7-2ubuntu0.1+esm9"}],"availability":"Available
