HTTP: Ruby on Rails Web Console CVE-2015-3224 Remote Code Execution

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Ruby on Rails. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

request.rb in Web Console before 2.1.3, as used with Ruby on Rails 3.x and 4.x, does not properly restrict the use of X-Forwarded-For headers in determining a client's IP address, which allows remote attackers to bypass the whitelisted_ips protection mechanism via a crafted request.
