CVE-2026-34763: Rack: Rack::Directory info disclosure and DoS via unescaped regex interpolation

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.25% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: ruby-rack (Debian:12) 2.2.22-0+deb12u2; ruby-rack (Debian:13) 3.1.20-0+deb13u2; ruby-rack (Debian:14) 3.2.6-2.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to ruby-rack (Debian:12) 2.2.22-0+deb12u2; ruby-rack (Debian:13) 3.1.20-0+deb13u2; ruby-rack (Debian:14) 3.2.6-2 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6, Rack::Directory interpolates the configured root path directly into a regular expression when deriving the displayed directory path. If root contains regex metacharacters such as +, *, or ., the prefix stripping can fail and the generated directory listing may expose the full filesystem path in the HTML output. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6.
