CVE-2026-34830: Rack: Rack::Sendfile regex injection via HTTP_X_ACCEL_MAPPING header allows arbitrary file reads through nginx

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)

  • 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: 0.23% (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.
  • 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.

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::Sendfile#map_accel_path interpolates the value of the X-Accel-Mapping request header directly into a regular expression when rewriting file paths for X-Accel-Redirect. Because the header value is not escaped, an attacker who can supply X-Accel-Mapping to the backend can inject regex metacharacters and control the generated X-Accel-Redirect response header. In deployments using Rack::Sendfile with x-accel-redirect, this can allow an attacker to cause nginx to serve unintended files from configured internal locations. This issue has been patched in versions 2.2.23, 3.1.21, and 3.2.6.
