The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201401-22 (Active Record: SQL injection)
An Active Record method parameter can mistakenly be used as a scope.
Impact :
A remote attacker could use specially crafted input to execute arbitrary SQL statements.
Workaround :
The vulnerability may be mitigated by converting the input to an expected value. This is accomplished by changing instances of ‘Post.find_by_id(params[:id])’ in code using Active Record to ‘Post.find_by_id(params[:id].to_s)’
